Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: Stage 1 of the filtration-convergence chain toward the partial-information CLT: mean-square form of Levy's upward theorem, proved via orthogonal projection increments, Riesz-Fischer relative to the limit sigma-algebra, and a pi-lambda extension of the averaging property.

Statement

Let (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P) be a probability space and let (Gn)nN(\mathcal{G}_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of sub-σ\sigma-algebras of F\mathcal{F} indexed by the natural numbers that is nondecreasing: GnGn+1\mathcal{G}_n\subseteq\mathcal{G}_{n+1} for every nNn\in\mathbb{N}. Let

G=σ(nNGn)\mathcal{G}_\infty=\sigma\Bigl(\bigcup_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\mathcal{G}_n\Bigr)

be the generated σ\sigma-algebra of the union, which is again a sub-σ\sigma-algebra of F\mathcal{F} because F\mathcal{F} is a σ\sigma-algebra containing every Gn\mathcal{G}_n. Let XX be a square-integrable random variable on (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P).

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

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