Abstract




The aim of this paper is to give a notion of uniform tightness for transition probabilities on topological spaces, which assures the uniform tightness of compound probability measures. Then the upper semicontinuity of set-valued mappings are used in essence. As an important example, the uniform tightness for Gaussian transition probabilities on the strong dual of a nuclear real Frechet space is studied. It is also shown that some of our results contain well-known results concerning the uniform tightness and the weak convergence of probability measures.
