Does convergence in $L^2$ imply convergence of composition?












-1












$begingroup$



Let ${f_n}$ be a sequence in $L^2(mathbb{R})$ such that $f_n to 0$ in $L^2(mathbb{R})$ as $n to infty$. Let $u in L^2(mathbb{R})$ such that $f_n(u) in L^2(mathbb{R})$. Can we conclude $f_n(u) to 0$ in $ L^2(mathbb{R})$ as $n to infty$.




I'm guessing this result is not true, but every sequence I take seems to verify the claim.

          Let $f_n(x)=nI_{(0,frac 1 {n^{3}})}$ and $u(x)=x^{2}I_{(0,1)}$. Then the conditions are all satisfied but $|f_ncirc u|_2^{2} to infty$,

            Unfortunately, $fin L^2(Bbb R)$ is not an actual function, but an equivalence class of functions. As a result, the composition map $fcirc u$ is not well-defined in $L^2(Bbb R)$ in general. (This is so even if we disregard measurability issues.) This makes the question as non-sense. For example, $1_{Bbb Q}$ is just $ 0$ in $L^2(Bbb R)$ but $$(1_Bbb Qcirc 1_Bbb Q)(x) =1$$ while
            $$
            (0circ 0)(x) = 0.
            $$
