Complex Borel measures: does $\mu_n \to \mu$ weakly imply $|\mu|(\Theta) \le \liminf_n |\mu_n|(\Theta)$ for every open subset $\Theta$?

Let $\Omega$ be a metric space, $C_b(\Omega)$ the space of all real-valued bounded continuous functions on $\Omega$, and $\mathcal{M}(\Omega)$ the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $\Omega$...

Vague convergence: confusion about the regularity of a signed Radon measure and that of its variation

I'm reading a proof of below theorem from this paper. Theorem A.3. Let $\Omega$ be a locally compact normal Hausdorff space. Let $\left\{\mu_n\right\} \cup\{\mu\} \subset \mathcal{M}(\Omega)$ and ...

Is the space of Radon measures a Polish space or at least separable?

Background: I work on a SPDE problem where in order to apply Prokhorov's theorem I need that some measure space is Polish space. And additionaly it would be good if that space is Banach space. Earlier ...

Does this metric have an official name? Lévy metric? Ky Fan metric?

Let $X$ and $Y$ be random variables taking values in a separable metric space $(S,d)$. The metric I have in mind is $$\rho(X,Y) = \mathbb{E}[\min\{d(X,Y),1\}]$$ if $X$ and $Y$ take values in the a ...
