In science:
In fact, since BVloc (IR, {mβ , T mβ }) is endowed with the topology induced by the metric d(·, ·) defined in (5.4), this implies that the points of jumps of {u∗γn , 0 < γn < γ0} will converge in Law to some points that by (2.47) are necessarily the (Si , i ∈ ZZ ), this will imply (2.52).
One-dimensional random field Kac's model: weak large deviations principle
Section 4.10].) Indeed, M1 < ∞ implies that the sequence (Wn )n is tight, so every subsequence has a subsubsequence converging in distribution to some W (that may depend on the subsubsequence), and these assumptions imply that this W has to satisfy the conditions in (iii).

Indeed this imply that if ν 6= 0 then Ψ is liftable if and only if it is a multiple of inv ◦ [−, −], while if ν = 0 it implies that Ψ2 is not liftable and hence again that inv ◦ [−, −] = −2Ψ1 is the only liftable cocycle in the span of Ψ1 and Ψ2 .
