Exchangeability.DeFinetti.ViaL2.AlphaConvergence.EndpointCommon

Shared helper for the alphaIicCE endpoint limits #

Both alphaIicCE_ae_tendsto_zero_atBot (EndpointAtBot) and alphaIicCE_ae_tendsto_one_atTop (EndpointAtTop) need the same generic measure-theoretic fact:

If a uniformly bounded sequence f : ℕ → Ω → ℝ converges pointwise a.e. (to some L) and also converges to a constant c in L¹, then the pointwise limit equals c a.e., so f n ω → c a.e.

This is the "L¹-limit-of-a-constant-identifies-the-pointwise-limit" lemma, extracted into one private helper so the endpoint files can each derive pointwise convergence to their target without duplicating the dominated-convergence + integral_eq_zero_iff_of_nonneg_ae machinery.

A.e. pointwise limit equals the L¹-limit constant.

If a uniformly bounded sequence f : ℕ → Ω → ℝ converges pointwise a.e. to L : Ω → ℝ and also converges to a constant c in L¹ (in the sense that ∫ |f n - c| → 0), then L = c a.e., so f n ω → c for a.e. ω.

The proof routes through dominated convergence: |f n - c| is uniformly bounded by C + |c|, converges pointwise a.e. to |L - c|, and has integrals tending to 0, so ∫ |L - c| = 0. Since |L - c| ≥ 0, that forces L = c a.e.
