Finding a connection between two types of convergence

Please, help me find connections between two types of convergence: Let $\{X_n\}_{n\ge1}: (\Omega,F,P) \rightarrow (\mathbb{R},Bor)$ be a sequence of r.v., there are two convergences: 1) $X_n \...

Limit process of a sequence of Gaussian variables on mesh grid going to zero

Consider the interval $[0,1]$ and a partition $\mathscr{P}_n = \{ [t_i,t_{i+1}), \, i=1,\ldots,N_n \, : \, 0=t_0 < \ldots < t_{N_n} = 1\}$. Suppose that for all $i$ and $t \in [t_i,t_{i+1})$, we ...

Uniform distribution as argument for copula likelihood

I am reading a well-known paper about copulas by Chen and Fan (2006). Specifically, Proposition 4.2 (see attached), in which all the arguments are uniform $U_{t-1}, U_t$. However, when the copula is ...

The weak convergence of finite dimensional distribution of Gaussian process does not imply the weak convergence in $C[0,1]$

In the study of weak convergence in $C[0,1]$, a common example is always being considered: $$X_{n}(t)=nt1_{[0,1/n]}(t)+(2-nt)1_{(1/n,2/n]}(t).$$ This example serves a counter-example to show that the ...
