Surjectivity of pushforward on image

Let $\mathcal X\subseteq\mathbb R^m$ be a Borel measurable set. $\Phi:\mathcal X\to\mathbb R^n$ be a continuous mapping and $\mathcal Y = \Phi(\mathcal X)\subseteq\mathbb R^n$ its image. Let $\mathcal …

Is the square root of the Kullback-Leibler divergence a convex map?

$\newcommand{\KL}{\operatorname{KL}}$Let $X$ be a Polish metric space and $P(X)$ the space of probability measures on $X$. Given $\mu, \nu\in P(X)$, recall that $$\KL(\mu\parallel\nu) = \begin{cases}\ …

A "too good to be true" claim about separable processes

I am reading the paper [1]. At page 18, eq 115, it is claimed the following: Given a separable process $(X_t)_{t\in T}$, we have $\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathbb E[\sup_{t\in T}(X_t-X_{\pi_n(t)})]=0$. Here …

Looking for a reference: $f$-divergences are lower semicontinuous

I know that the weak lower semi-continuity of the KL divergence was proved in [1]. If I remember well, the same property is true for any $f$ divergence (with suitable assumptions on the probability sp …

Measurability of Markov kernel wrt the Borel $\sigma$-algebra generated by the weak topology

Consider two Polish metric probability spaces $(\mathcal{A}, \Sigma_\mathcal{A})$ and $(\mathcal{B}, \Sigma_\mathcal{B})$, endowed with their Borel $\sigma$-algebras. Denote as $\mathcal{P}_\mathcal{B …
