For $p_u\in \partial J(u)$ and $p_v\in \partial J(v)$, add the two Bregman distances to get $D_J^{p_v}(u,v)+D_J^{p_u}(v,u)=⟨p_u-p_v,u-v⟩\ge 0$. The choice of subgradients matters. This is generally not a metric: it need not separate points or satisfy a triangle inequality.

For $1\le p<\infty$ and $f\in L^p({\mathbb{R}}^d)$, translations converge to $f$ in the Lp space norm. First prove this for continuous compactly supported functions, using uniform continuity and a common bounded support. Their density in Lp space, together with the norm-preserving translation map and the triangle inequality, proves the assertion for arbitrary $f$. It implies convergence of averages over shrinking intervals, a basic approximate identity argument. The corresponding assertion fails for general $L^{\infty }$ functions, such as an indicator function with a jump.

If $X_n$ converges in probability to both $X$ and $Y$, then $X=Y$ almost surely. Indeed, the triangle inequality and a union bound show that $\mathbb{P}(|X-Y|>\epsilon )=0$ for every $\epsilon >0$.
