USRA Learning Analysis and Probability Seminar

Abstract

Let (X,d) be a metric space which is separable and complete, and let Prob(X) denote the set of all probability measures on the Borel sigma-algebra of (X,d). One has a natural metric lambda* on Prob(X), and a beautiful theorem of Prokhorov which describes the compact subsets of the metric space (Prob(X), lambda*). In the following few weeks (Tuesdays 2-3:30 pm, starting om May 17), Daniel Pepper and Emilio Verdugo Paredes will give a series of talks around the metric lambda* and the theorem of Prokhorov.
