{title2=$\int_{E_N}f\,d\mu\geq0$}
For a <measure-preserving transformation> and real integrable $f$, let $S_kf=\sum_{j<k}f\circ T^j$. For $E_N=\{\max_{1\leq k\leq N}S_kf>0\}$ the lemma asserts $\int_{E_N}f\,d\mu\geq0$. Passing to the increasing <union> gives the corresponding infinite-supremum inequality.
