Abstract
A characterization is presented of barycenters of the Radon probability measures supported on a closed convex subset of a given space. A case of particular interest is studied, where the underlying space is itself the space of finite signed Radon measures on a metric compact and where the corresponding support is the convex set of probability measures. For locally compact spaces, a simple characterization is obtained in terms of the relative interior.
