Exercise 1.5.6 (Convergence in measure implies almost uniformly convergent subsequence)

Let (X,,μ) be a measure space, and let (f )n be a sequence of functions from X to C that converge to a limit f : X in measure. Then there exists a subsequence (fnj)j=1 that converges almost uniformly to f.

Answers

By theorem assumption we have the convergence in measure, i.e.,

j : μ ( {x X : |fn(x) f(x)| > 1 j }) 0.

In particular,

j : Nj n nj : μ ( {x X : |fn(x) f(x)| > 1 j }) 𝜖 2j.

At this point, using the axiom of choice, we set our exceptional set to be

E := j=1 {x X : |f Nj(x) f(x)| > 1 j }μ(E) j=1μ(E j) = j=1 𝜖 2j = 𝜖

and our subsequence to be (fNj)j=1.

j (Nj )Nj Njx XE : |fNj(x) f(x)| 1 j

as desired.
