Abstract: Skorokhod's representation theorem states that if on a Polish space, there is defined a weakly convergent sequence of probability measures $m{u}_{n}stackrelwom{u}_0,$ as $noinfty$, then there exist a probability space $(Omega,mathscrF,P)$ and a sequence of random elements $X_n$ such that $X_{n}oX$ almost surely and $X_n$ has the distribution function $m{u}_n$, $n=0,1,2,cdots$. In this paper, we shall extend the Skorokhod representation theorem to the case where if there are a sequence of separable metric spaces $S_n$, a sequence of probability measures $m{u}_n$ and a sequence of measurable mappings $varph{i}_n$ such that $m{u}_{n}varph{i}_n^{-1}stackrelwom{u}_0$, then there exist a probability space $(Omega,mathscrF,P)$ and $S_n$-valued random elements $X_n$ defined on $Omega$, with distribution $m{u}_n$ and such that $varph{i}_n(X_n)o{X}_0$ 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.
