Definition of weak conditional convergence of random variables

I am looking for a definition of conditional convergence. Suppose that $X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n$ are $\mathbb R$-valued random variables with finite second moments, and $W_1, W_2, \dots, W_n$ are iid $\...

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 ...

Convergence of gPC expansions for random variables in the total variation distance

Suppose that a random variable $Y$ can be written as $Y=g(Z)$, where $g$ is a function and $Z$ is a random variable. When $Z$ is a continuous random variable with finite absolute moments, we consider ...

Convergence of function of stochastic processes

Let $X_t$ be a fixed cadlag semi-martingale and $J_n$ be a fixed sequence of functions from $\mathbb{R}^d$ to $\mathbb{R}$ which are twice continuously differentiable. If $J_n$ converge pointwise to ...
