Abstract:

We prove that a $W_2$-closed, geodesically convex subset $\mathcal C$ of $P^r_2({R^d})$ is closed with respect to weak convergence in $P^r_2({R^d})$. This means that if $(\mu_n)\subset \mathcal C$ is such that $\mu_n\to\mu$ in duality with continuous bounded functions and $\sup_n \int
x
^2d\mu_n<\infty$, then $\mu\in \mathcal C$ as well.

Keywords: Wasserstein distance, Geodesic convexity
