= Martingale convergence theorem

A discrete-time martingale with $\sup_n\mathbb E|M_n|<\infty$ converges almost surely to an integrable random variable. If the martingale is <uniform integrability>[uniformly integrable], convergence also holds in $L^1$.

This is one of <Doob's martingale convergence theorems>; uniform integrability upgrades almost-sure convergence to convergence in mean.
