In this paper we study the weak laws of large numbers for sublinear expectation. We prove that, without any moment condition, the weak laws of large numbers hold in the sense of convergence in capacity induced by some general sublinear expectations. For some specific sublinear expectation, for instance, mean deviation functional and one-side moment coherent risk measure, we also give weak laws of large numbers for corresponding capacity.

In this paper, with a new notion of exponential independence for random variables under an upper expectation, we establish a kind of strong laws of large numbers for capacities. Our limit theorems show that the cluster points of empirical averages not only lie in the interval between the upper expectation and the lower expectation with lower probability one, but such an interval also is the unique smallest interval of all intervals in which the limit points of empirical averages lie with lower probability one. Furthermore, we also show that the cluster points of empirical averages could reach the upper expectation and lower expectation with upper probability one.
