Weak convergence of the underlying measures μs n to μ is equivalent to convergence of μs n to μ in the topology on ProbabilityMeasure ℝ. A bridge between the project's WeakConvergence definition and Mathlib's ProbabilityMeasure topology.

Lévy's continuity theorem (backward direction): if the characteristic functions of a sequence of probability measures μs n on ℝ converge pointwise to the characteristic function of μ, then μs n converges weakly to μ.
