Abstract
Let μ n be a probability measure on the Borel σ-field on D[0, 1] with respect to Skorohod distance, n ≥ 0. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the following statement are provided. On some probability space, there are D[0, 1]-valued random variables X n such that X n ~ μ n for all n ≥ 0 and ||X n − X 0|| → 0 in probability, where ||·|| is the sup-norm. Such conditions do not require μ 0 separable under ||·||. Applications to exchangeable empirical processes and to pure jump processes are given as well.
