Abstract: Skorokhod's representation theorem states that if on a Polish space, there is defined a weakly convergent sequence of probability measures munstackrelwomu0, as noinfty, then there exist a probability space (Omega,mathscrF,P) and a sequence of random elements Xn such that XnoX almost surely and Xn has the distribution function mun, n=0,1,2,cdots. In this paper, we shall extend the Skorokhod representation theorem to the case where if there are a sequence of separable metric spaces Sn, a sequence of probability measures mun and a sequence of measurable mappings varphin such that munvarphin1stackrelwomu0, then there exist a probability space (Omega,mathscrF,P) and Sn-valued random elements Xn defined on Omega, with distribution mun and such that varphin(Xn)oX0 almost surely. In addition, we present several applications of our result including some results in random matrix theory, while the original Skorokhod representation theorem is not applicable.
