Probability pushforward embedding theorem

ID: probability-pushforward-embedding-theorem

A homeomorphic embedding of a metric space induces a homeomorphic embedding of its probability measures for their weak topologies. The inverse continuity follows from the open-set Portmanteau theorem, since every relatively open set is the trace of an ambient open set. This does not give surjectivity onto when points of are outside the embedded image.
