Remark: the finite dimension is necessary. Counterexample: $\ell^2$ with $\mu_n$ the law of $X_n = \sum_{k=1}^n \zeta_k e_k$ where $e_k = (0, \ldots, 0, 1, 0 \ldots)$ and the $\zeta_k$ are i.i.d. $\mathcal N(0,1)$. Then $\hat{\mu}_n(t) \to e^{- \Vert t \Vert^2 / 2}$ for all $t \in \ell^2$ but $(\mu_n)$ is not tight (todo: why?).

\begin{lemma}\label{lem:eq_M_of_eq_charFun}
If two probability measures $\mu, \nu$ have same characteristic function, then for all exponential polynomial $f \in \mathcal M$, $\mu[f] = \nu[f]$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{lemma}\label{lem:ext_charFun}
Two probability measures on a TODO space are equal iff they have the same characteristic function.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}\uses{lem:separating_expPoly, thm:separating_starSubalgebra}
The sub-algebra $\mathcal M$ of exponential polynomials is separating by Lemma~\ref{lem:separating_expPoly} and Theorem~\ref{thm:separating_starSubalgebra}. Equality of characteristic functions implies equality on $\mathcal M$, which then implies equality of the measures since $\mathcal M$ is separating.

\begin{theorem}[Convergence of characteristic functions and weak convergence of measures]\label{thm:charFun_tendsto_iff_measure_tendsto}
Let $\mu, \mu_1, \mu_2, \ldots$ be probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with characteristic functions $\hat{\mu}, \hat{\mu}_1, \hat{\mu}_2, \ldots$. Then $\mu_n \xrightarrow{w} \mu$ iff for all $t$, $\hat{\mu}_n(t) \to \hat{\mu}(t)$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}\uses{lem:separating_expPoly, lem:tight_of_tendsto_charFun, lem:cvg_of_separating}
\begin{proof}\uses{lem:separating_expPoly, lem:tight_of_tendsto_charFun, lem:cvg_of_separating, lem:eq_M_of_eq_charFun}
For all $t$, $x \mapsto e^{i \langle t, x \rangle}$ is a bounded continuous function. Hence by the definition of convergence in distribution, $\mu_n \xrightarrow{w} \mu \implies \hat{\mu}_n(t) \to \hat{\mu}(t)$ for all $t$.

Let's now prove the other direction.
If the characteristic functions converge pointwise, we get from Lemma~\ref{lem:tight_of_tendsto_charFun} that the family of measures is tight.
Then apply Lemma~\ref{lem:cvg_of_separating} to the subalbegra $\mathcal M$: it suffices to show that $\mu_n[f] \to \mu[f]$ for all $f \in \mathcal M$.

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two probability measures such that $\mu[f] = \nu[f]$ for all $f \in \mathcal A$. We want to prove that $\mu = \nu$. Since $C_b(E, \mathbb{C})$ is separating, it suffices to prove that for $g \in C_b(E, \mathbb{C})$, $\mu[g] = \nu[g]$. This is proved in Lemma~\ref{lem:Cb_eq_of_separating}
