Reason: Stage 1 of the filtration-convergence chain: conditional expectation is jointly continuous in the random variable (mean square) and the sigma-algebra (mean-square convergence of sub-sigma-algebras).

Statement

Let (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P) be a probability space. Let (Xn)nN(X_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of square-integrable random variables and XX a square-integrable random variable on (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P) such that the mean-square distances (XnX2)nN(\lVert X_n-X\rVert_{2})_{n\in\mathbb{N}} have limit 00. Let (Gn)nN(\mathcal{G}_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of sub-σ\sigma-algebras of F\mathcal{F} that converges in mean square to a sub-σ\sigma-algebra G\mathcal{G} of F\mathcal{F}.

Then for every choice of conditional expectations YnY_n of XnX_n given Gn\mathcal{G}_n (nNn\in\mathbb{N}) and YY of XX given G\mathcal{G}, the real sequence (YnY2)nN(\lVert Y_n-Y\rVert_{2})_{n\in\mathbb{N}} has limit 00. In the notation of Conditional Expectation of a Square-Integrable Random Variable:

limnE[XnGn]E[XG]2=0.\lim_{n\to\infty}\bigl\lVert\mathbb{E}[X_n\mid\mathcal{G}_n]-\mathbb{E}[X\mid\mathcal{G}]\bigr\rVert_{2}=0 .
