Conditional on , put . The two possible values have conditional meanThe process is adapted and bounded, hence integrable. Consequently it is a martingale. Since , the martingale convergence theorem gives an almost surely finite limit , necessarily in .
Moreover and these squared differences tend to zero almost surely. The dominated convergence theorem gives . Thus the Bernoulli polarization martingale converges almost surely and in .
