\section{Uniform Integrability} \label{section:uniform-integrable} \begin{definition}[Uniform Integrability] \label{definition:uniform-integrable} Let $(X, \cm, \mu)$ be a measure space, $p \in [1, \infty)$, $E$ be a normed vector space over $K \in \RC$, and $\cf \subset L^p(X; E)$, then $\cf$ is \textbf{uniformly $p$-integrable} if \[ \lim_{M \to \infty}\sup_{f \in \cf} \int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}} \norm{f}^p d\mu = 0 \] \end{definition} \begin{proposition} \label{proposition:ui-gymnastics} Let $(X, \cm, \mu)$ be a measure space, $p \in [1, \infty)$, $E$ be a normed vector space over $K \in \RC$, $\cf \subset L^p(X; K)$, and let $|\cf|^p = \bracsn{\norm{f}^p| f \in \cf}$, then: \begin{enumerate} \item If $\cf$ is uniformly $p$-integrable, then $|\cf|^p$ is uniformly absolutely continuous with respect to $\mu$. \item If $\sup_{f \in \cf}\norm{f}_{L^p(X; E)} < \infty$ and $|\cf|^p$ is uniformly absolutely continuous with respect to $\mu$, then $\cf$ is uniformly $p$-integrable. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} (1): Let $\eps > 0$, then there exists $M \ge 0$ such that \[ \sup_{f \in \cf}\int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}} \norm{f}^p d\mu < \eps/2 \] Thus for any $A \in \cm$, \begin{align*} \sup_{f \in \cf}\int_{A}\norm{f}^p d\mu &\le \sup_{f \in \cf}\int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \le M} \cap A} \norm{f}^p d\mu+ \sup_{f \in \cf}\int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M} \cap A} \norm{f}^p d\mu \\ &\le M \mu(A) + \eps/2 \end{align*} so if $\mu(A) \le M\eps/2$, then $\sup_{f \in \cf}\int_{A}\norm{f}^p d\mu \le \eps$. (2): Let $\eps > 0$, then there exists $\delta > 0$ such that for any $A \in \cm$ with $\mu(A) < \delta$, $\sup_{f \in \cf}\int_A \norm{f}^p d\mu < \eps$. By \hyperref[Markov's inequality]{theorem:markov-inequality}, \[ \sup_{f \in \cf}\mu(\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}) \le \frac{\sup_{f \in \cf}\norm{f}_{L^p(X; E)}^p}{M^p} \] Thus for sufficiently large $M$, $\sup_{f \in \cf}\mu(\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}) < \delta$, and \[ \sup_{f \in \cf}\int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}} \norm{f}^p d\mu < \eps \] \end{proof} \begin{theorem}[Vitali Convergence Theorem] \label{theorem:vitali-convergence} Let $(X, \cm, \mu)$ be a measure space, $p \in [1, \infty)$, $E$ be a normed vector space over $K \in \RC$, and $\fF \subset 2^{L^p(X; E)}$ be a filter, then $\fF$ is Cauchy in $L^p(X; E)$ if and only if: \begin{enumerate} \item[(M)] $\fF$ is locally Cauchy in measure. \item[(UI)] For each $\eps > 0$, there exists $M \ge 0$ and $F \in \fF$ such that \[ \sup_{f \in F}\int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}}\norm{f}_E^p d\mu < \eps \] \item[(T)] For each $\eps > 0$, there exists $A \in \cm$ and $F \in \fF$ with $\mu(A) < \infty$ and $\sup_{f \in F}\int_{A^c}\norm{f}_E^p < \eps$. \end{enumerate} % M stands for measure, UI stands for Uniform Integrability, T stands for tightness. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} ($L^p$) $\Rightarrow$ (M): By \hyperref[Markov's inequality]{theorem:markov-inequality}. ($L^p$) $\Rightarrow$ (UI): Let $F \in \fF$ such that for each $f, g \in F$, $\norm{f - g}_{L^p(X; E)} < \eps$. Fix $f \in F$, then by the \hyperref[Dominated Convergence Theorem]{theorem:dct}, there exists $M > 0$ such that $\int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}}\norm{f}_E^p d\mu < \eps$. For any $g \in F$, \[ \bracs{\norm{g}_E \ge 2M} \subset \bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M} \cup \bracs{\norm{g}_E \ge 2M, \norm{f}_E \le M} \] so by \autoref{lemma:lp-p-diff}, \begin{align*} \int_{\bracs{\norm{g}_E \ge 2M}}\norm{g}_E^pd\mu &\le \int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}}\norm{g}_E^pd\mu + \int_{\bracs{\norm{g}_E \ge 2M, \norm{f}_E \le M}}\norm{g}_E^pd\mu \\ &\le \int_{\bracs{\norm{f}_E \ge M}}\norm{f}_E^pd\mu + \int_{\bracs{\norm{g}_E \ge 2M, \norm{f}_E \le M}}\norm{f}_E^pd\mu \\ &+ 2p\norm{f - g}_{L^p(X; E)}(\norm{f}_{L^p(X; E)} \vee \norm{g}_{L^p(X; E)})^{p-1} \end{align*} Since $\bracs{\norm{g}_E \ge 2M, \norm{f}_E \le M} \subset \bracs{\norm{f - g}_E \ge M}$, by \hyperref[Markov's inequality]{theorem:markov-inequality}, \[ \int_{\bracs{\norm{g}_E \ge 2M, \norm{f}_E \le M}}\norm{f}_E^pd\mu \le M^p\mu\bracs{\norm{f - g}_E \ge M} \le \norm{f - g}_{L^p(X; E)}^p \] Therefore \[ \sup_{g \in F}\int_{\bracs{\norm{g}_E \ge 2M}}\norm{g}_E^p d\mu \le 2p \eps (\norm{f}_{L^p(X; E)} + \eps)^{p - 1} + \eps + \eps^p \] ($L^p$) $\Rightarrow$ (T): Let $F \in \fF$ such that for each $f, g \in F$, $\norm{f - g}_{L^p(X; E)} < \eps$. Fix $f \in F$, then by the \hyperref[Dominated Convergence Theorem]{theorem:dct}, there exists $A \in \cm$ such that $\mu(A) < \infty$ and $\norm{\one_{A^c}f}_{L^p(X; E)} < \eps$. In which case, for any $g \in F$, \[ \norm{\one_{A^c}g}_{L^p(X; E)} \le \norm{\one_{A^c}f}_{L^p(X; E)} + \norm{f - g}_{L^p(X; E)} \le \norm{\one_{A^c}f}_{L^p(X; E)} + \eps \] (M) + (UI) + (T) $\Rightarrow$ ($L^p$): Let $\eps > 0$. By (T), there exists $A \in \cm$ and $F_1 \in \fF$ with $\mu(A) < \infty$ and $\sup_{f \in F_1}\int_{A^c}\norm{f}_E^p < \eps^p$. Thus for every $f, g \in F_1$, \begin{align*} \norm{f - g}_{L^p(X; E)} &\le \norm{\one_A(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} + \norm{\one_{A^c}f}_{L^p(X; E)} + \norm{\one_{A^c}g}_{L^p(X; E)} \\ &\le \norm{\one_A(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} + 2\eps \end{align*} By (UI), there exists $M > 0$ and $F_2 \in \fF$ with $F_2 \subset F_1$ such that \[ \sup_{h \in F_2} \int_{\bracs{\norm{h}_E \ge M}}\norm{h}_E^p < \eps^p \] Assume without loss of generality that $\mu(A) > 0$ and let $\delta = \eps\mu(A)^{-1/p}$. By (M), there exists $F_3 \in \fF$ with $F_3 \subset F_2$, such that for any $f, g \in F_3$, \[ \mu(A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}) \le \paren{\frac{\eps}{2M}}^p \] In which case, \begin{align*} \norm{\one_{A}(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} &\le \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracs{\norm{f - g}_E \le \delta}}(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} \\ &+ \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} \\ &\le \delta\mu(A)^{1/p} + \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} \\ &\le \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} + \eps \end{align*} then for any $f, g \in F_3$, \begin{align*} \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} &\le \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}f}_{L^p(X; E)} \\ &+ \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}g}_{L^p(X; E)} \end{align*} Now, \begin{align*} \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}f}_{L^p(X; E)} &\le \normn{\one_{\bracsn{\norm{f}_E \ge M}}f}_{L^p(X; E)} \\ &+ \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta, \norm{f}_E \le M}}f}_{L^p(X; E)} \\ &\le \eps + \eps/2 = 3\eps/2 \end{align*} Similarly, $\normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}g}_{L^p(X; E)} \le 3\eps/2$. Thus \[ \normn{\one_{A \cap \bracsn{\norm{f - g}_E \ge \delta}}(f - g)}_{L^p(X; E)} \le 3\eps \] Therefore for any $f, g \in F_3$, $\norm{f - g}_{L^p(X; E)} \le 6 \eps$, so $\fF$ is Cauchy in $L^p(X; E)$. \end{proof} \begin{corollary}[Dominated Convergence Theorem (In Measure)] \label{corollary:dct-filter} Let $(X, \cm, \mu)$ be a measure space, $p \in [1, \infty)$, $E$ be a normed vector space over $K \in \RC$, $\fF \subset 2^{L^p(X; E)}$ be a filter, and $g, h \in L^p(X; \real)$ such that: \begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)] \item $\fF \to g$ pointwise and locally in measure. \item There exists $F \in \fF$ such that $|f| \le h$ for all $f \in F$. \end{enumerate} then $\fF \to f$ in $L^p(X; E)$. In particular, if $p = 1$, then \[ \lim_{f, \fF}\int f d\mu = \int g d\mu \] \end{corollary} \begin{proof} By \autoref{theorem:vitali-convergence}. \end{proof}
