Jan 13, 2020 at 2:15 comment added Iosif Pinelis @esner1994 : What will work in the compact case is your assumption that $g$ is continuous and hence $g(x,\cdot)$ is continuous for each $x$.
Jan 12, 2020 at 21:35 comment added esner1994 And how would you proceed in the compact case? The prooves of the three Theorems mentioned above are all similar, but adjusting the arguments there doesn't work, because with $L^2$ we have to deal with a space of equivalence classes of functions and so the projections $f \rightarrow f(t)$ are not even well-defined. I forgot to mention: There is also such a result for reproducing kernel hilbert spaces (see Theroem 93 in Thomas-Agnan "Reproducing kernel hilbert spaces in probability and statistics"), but the proof is also the same as for $C[0,1]$.
Jan 12, 2020 at 20:38 comment added Iosif Pinelis The difficulty here is that we have to deal with $L^2(\mathbb R)$, and $\mathbb R$ is not compact.

Jan 12, 2020 at 19:38 comment added esner1994 $C[0,1]$: Billingsley, "Convergence of probability measures", Theorem 8.1 $D[0,1]$: Billingsley, "Convergence of probability measures", Theorem 15.1 $C[0,\infty)$ Whitt, "Weak Convergence of Probability Measures on the Function Space $C[ 0, \infty)$", Theorem 3 Sorry, I thought the last one was about $C(\mathbb{R})$, but it probably holds as well. I corrected it.
Jan 12, 2020 at 18:50 comment added Iosif Pinelis Can you give references to those "similar results [that] hold for the spaces $C[0,1]$, $D[0,1]$ and the Frechet space $C(\mathbb{R})$"?

Jan 12, 2020 at 15:20 comment added esner1994 Yes, I mean the convergence in the Levy-Prokhorov metric.
Jan 12, 2020 at 15:12 comment added fedja And how do you define convergence in distribution for $L^2$-valued random variables? (Is it just the convergence of $\mathbb P_n$ in the Levy-Prokhorov metric or something weaker or stronger than that?)
