Clarification of one of the properties of conditional expectations

51 Views Asked by At

Here is one of the properties of conditional expectations stated in "The Theory of Stochastic Processes I" by Gikhman and Skorohod (on page 33):

The proof relies on the fact that there is a sequence of functions of a certain form converging to $g(\zeta,\eta)$ a.s (and in $L^1$). However, I'm not sure why this claim is true.

Also, if for all $z$, $|\mathsf{E}[g(\zeta,z)\mid \mathcal{B}]|\le X$ a.s. for some r.v. $X$ which does not depend on $z$, does the property imply that $$ |\mathsf{E}[g(\zeta,\eta)\mid \mathcal{B}]|<X \quad\text{a.s.}? $$

(it seems that for the second inequality to hold, the first must hold w.p.1 for all $z$ simultaneously)


Property $(g)$ mentioned in the proof implies that $\mathsf{E}[\zeta\eta\mid \mathcal{B}]=\eta\mathsf{E}[\zeta\mid \mathcal{B}]$ a.s.
