Abstract
Using Prohorov’s Theorem we give a proof of the Minimax Theorem in the context of probability measures defined on separable metric spaces. We also introduce the concept of pseudo-characteristic function and use it to give necessary and sufficient conditions of relative compactness in the space of probability measures.
