Almost sure and order convergence are equivalent in $L_p$ spaces

$begingroup$


I have attempted to prove the following lemma, which is given as an exercise by Aliprantis and Border. Is the proof correct? Improvements are welcome.



Lemma. An order bounded sequence $(f_n)$ in some $L_p(mu)$ space satisfies $f_n xrightarrow{o} f$ if and only if $f_n to f$ a.s. ($mu$). (The symbol $xrightarrow{o}$ denotes order convergence.)



Proof. First note that since $(f_n)$ is order bounded $|f_n - f| leq h + |f|$ holds for some $h in L_p(mu)$ and all $n$. Therefore, $sup_{m geq n}|f_n - f| in L_p(mu)$ for all $n$.



Assume $f_n xrightarrow{o} f$, which means that there exists a sequence $(g_n) in L_p(mu)$ such that $|f_n - f| leq g_n downarrow 0$. The inequality means that $|f_n(x) - f(x)| leq g_n(x)$ for $mu$-almost every $x$ and all $n$. Thus, $limsup_n |f_n(x) - f(x)| leq limsup_n g_n(x)=0$ for $mu$-almost every $x$. This implies $f_n to f$ a.s. ($mu$).



Now assume $f_n to f$ a.s. ($mu$). Let $g_n := sup_{m geq n}|f_m - f|$. Then, $|f_n - f| leq g_n downarrow 0$.

    @DavideGiraudo If $V$ is a vector lattice and $(f_n), f in V$, then $f_n xrightarrow{o} f$ if and only if there exists a decreasing sequence $(g_n) in V$ such that $|f_n - f| leq g_n$ for all $n$ and $inf_n g_n = 0$.

The proof looks correct, up to two small typos:





  • $limsup_n |f_m(x) - f(x)| leq limsup_n g_n(x)=0$ should be $limsup_n |f_n(x) - f(x)| leq limsup_n g_n(x)=0$;

  • in the last line, the definition of $g_n$ should be $g_n := sup_{m geq n}|f_m - f|$.
