Show that if $p > 1$ and $sup_{n geq 1} |X_n| in L^p$ then ${X_n, n geq 1}$ is uniformly integrable.

$begingroup$


Let $(Omega,mathcal{Sigma,mathbb{P}})$ be a complete probability space.



I have to show that $$lim_{alpha to infty} sup_{n geq 1}int_{{|X_n| geq alpha}}|X_n|, dmathbb{P} = 0$$



assuming title's assumptions and let $alpha > 0$



my attempt :



$| X_n| leq sup_{ngeq 1}|X_n| leq [sup_{ngeq 1}|X_n|]^p$



therefore



$$int_{{|X_n| geq alpha}}|X_n|, dmathbb{P} leq int_{{|X_n| geq alpha}} [sup_{ngeq 1}|X_n|]^p, dmathbb{P} leq mathbb{E}[ [sup_{ngeq 1}|X_n|]^p] < infty $$



so for every $n geq 1$



$$int_{{|X_n| geq alpha}}|X_n|, dmathbb{P} < infty $$



however I'm not sure this completes the proof because although it's finite it could possibly depend on $n$ and taking the supremum with $n$'s in an expression can cause a blow up.



any hints or help will be greatly appreciated, thanks !

    I think there is a typo in your title since this is untrue in the case $p=1$ (see here). I've edited your title to remove this case. Your attempt doesn't work. The first line is wrong since if $x < 1$, $p>1$ then $x$ is not smaller than $x^p$.

We can use the fact that
$$
int_{|X_n|ge alpha}|X_n|dBbb Plefrac{1}{alpha^{p-1}}int_{|X_n|ge alpha}|X_n|^pdBbb P.
$$
If $suplimits_{ninBbb N}|X_n|_p=M<infty$ (our case is a special case of this), then we have
$$
int_{|X_n|ge alpha}|X_n|dBbb Plefrac{1}{alpha^{p-1}}M^p,quadforall ninBbb N.
$$
This gives
$$
sup_{ninBbb N}int_{|X_n|ge alpha}|X_n|dBbb Plefrac{1}{alpha^{p-1}}M^p
$$
and we get the desired conclusion by taking $alphatoinfty.$
