Suppose $(P_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is a sequence of probability measures on a metric space $E$. Everybody knows what weak convergence of $P_n$ to a measure $P$ is. 

Instead, let $(Q_n)_{n\ge 1}$ be another sequence of probability measures, and I want to ask the following question: when are $Q_n$ and $P_n$ asymptotically close in the sense of weak convergence? Of course, I can say that it means that $d(P_n,Q_n)\to 0$ where $d$ is one of the metrics compatible with weak convergence of measures. However, is there a useful theory helping to prove $d(P_n,Q_n)\to 0$?  For the usual case i.e. weak convergence $P_n\to P$, there is a number of technologies based on tightness, and here we may have a situation where none of the two sequences is tight, but they still "converge to each other".

This could be useful if one of the two sequences is much simpler or better understood than the other one, and I am mostly interested in situations where the metric space $E$ is a functional space like $C$ or $D$.
