Terminal expectation criterion for a nonnegative local martingale

ID: terminal-expectation-criterion-for-a-nonnegative-local-martingale

A nonnegative local martingale is a supermartingale. If its integrable terminal limit has the same expectation as its initial value, conditional Fatou lemma gives , and equality of expectations makes this an equality. It is therefore a uniformly integrable martingale.
