Finite measures #
When the underlying σ-algebra is countably generated, singletons are measurable in
FiniteMeasure α and in ProbabilityMeasure α.
On a finite measurable space, a probability measure is the sum of its singleton masses.
Narrow convergence of finite measures μs i → μ tests against a fixed bounded continuous function.
It also passes to integrands fs i converging uniformly to a bounded continuous f:
∫ fs i dμs i → ∫ f dμ. This is what makes t ↦ ∫ u (t, x) dμₜ(x) continuous along a narrowly
continuous curve of finite measures when u is bounded continuous and uniformly continuous in time.

Implementation #
The statement is really about finite measures; the probability-measure form is the subtype
corollary. Countable generation is exactly what the proof consumes — StandardBorelSpace α implies
it, but is stronger than needed.
A countable generating family need not be closed under intersection, so it is replaced by the set
algebra it generates (MeasureTheory.generateSetAlgebra), which is still countable, is a π-system,
and generates the same σ-algebra. A finite measure is then pinned down by its values there
(ext_of_generate_finite, with Set.univ supplied by the algebra), so {μ} is the countable
intersection of the equalizers {ν | ν s = μ s}. Each equalizer is measurable because evaluation at
a fixed measurable set is.
Singletons are measurable in the space of finite measures, when the σ-algebra on α is
countably generated.
Singletons are measurable in the space of probability measures whenever they are measurable
in the space of finite measures, as they are when the σ-algebra on α is countably generated
(FiniteMeasure.instMeasurableSingletonClass).
The singleton masses of a probability measure on a finite measurable space sum to one.
A finite measure vanishes on a finite set if it vanishes on every point of that set.
Narrow convergence against uniformly convergent integrands. If the finite measures μs i
converge narrowly to μ and the RCLike-valued functions fs i, eventually almost everywhere
strongly measurable, converge uniformly to a bounded continuous function f, then
∫ fs i dμs i converges to ∫ f dμ.
Narrow convergence of measures carried by a closed ball. Let finite measures μs i on a
proper real normed space converge narrowly to μ, all carried by the closed ball closedBall 0 r.
If functions fs i, continuous on that ball, converge uniformly on it to a function f continuous
on it, then ∫ fs i dμs i converges to ∫ f dμ. Nothing is assumed off the ball: there fs i
and f may be unbounded or discontinuous.
