I asked this question on StackExchange a few days ago but didn't get any response, so I thought I would try here.
The Wikipedia article on convergence of measures defines three kinds of convergence: total variation, strong, and weak. For weak convergence, a number of equivalent formulations, but not for strong or total variation convergence. I have two questions.
Are there some equivalent formulations for those notions of convergence too? In particular, is it true that $\mu_n$ strongly converges to $\mu$ iff $E_{\mu_n} f\to E_\mu f$ for ever bounded measurable function $f$? According to an answer to this question, the left-to-right direction holds if strong convergence is strengthened by total variation convergence.
Are there some nice characterizations of these topologies that are not stated in terms of convergent sequences?
