In Folland, Theorem 2.32 states




If $f_n to f$ in $L^1$ then there is a subsequence ${f_{n_j}}$ such that $f_{n_j} to f$ almost everywhere.




The proof given just says to "combine propositions 2.29 and 2.30" which say




(2.29) If $f_n to f$ in $L^1$ then $f_n to f$ in measure.




and




(2.30) Suppose ${f_n}$ is Cauchy in measure then there is a measureable $f$ such that $f_n to f$ in measure and there is a subsequence $f_{n_j}$ that converges to $f$ almost everywhere. Moreover if $f_n to g$ in measure then $f =g$ almost everywhere.




I'm unsure how how this is implied? I think part of this is because I don't fully understand 2.30. I know that given $f_n to f$ in L^1 then by 2.29 we know that $f_n to f$ in measure. 2.30, however, deals with a sequence that is Cauchy in measure. However, in general convergence in measure does not imply Cauchy in measure, correct?

          Convergence in measure implies Cauchy in measure.



          Let our measure be $mu$. if $f_n to f$ in measure, then given $epsilon > 0$, we have $mu({x : |f_n(x) - f(x)| > epsilon/2})to 0$ as $n to infty$. But as $|f_n(x) - f_m(x)| leq |f_n(x) - f(x)| + |f(x) - f_m(x)|$, we have
          $$ {x: |f_n(x) - f_m(x)| > epsilon} subseteq {x: |f_n(x) - f(x)| > epsilon/2} cup {x : |f(x) - f_m(x)| > epsilon/2}.$$
          Monotonicity of measure then gives that $mu({x: |f_n(x) - f_m(x)| > epsilon})$ is arbitrarily small as $n,m to infty$. Concretely: given $delta > 0$, there exists $N$ such that if $n geq N$, then $mu({x : |f_n(x) - f(x)|> epsilon/2}) < delta/2$. For this $N$, if $n,m geq N$, then also $mu({x: |f_n(x) - f_m(x)| > epsilon}) < delta$.
