BGW.MetricMeasure.GHPCompleteness

Completeness of the whole-space GHP metric #

Fast successive couplings are realized in one complete ambient space. Their compact images have a Hausdorff limit and all lie in a compact hull. Pushed probability measures have a weakly convergent subsequence on that hull; its ambient pushforward is carried by the limiting compact set. Restriction produces a probability on that entire set. This gives a GHP limit and hence completeness, without requiring full support or separability of the initially constructed ambient space.

A geometric sequence of actual measured coupling costs has a limit represented by a compact metric space with a Borel probability measure.

The exact whole-space GHP metric is complete.

The source whole-space quotient, with its already defined GHP topology, is a Polish space.
