If $E|X_n|to E|X|$ then $X_n overset{1}{rightarrow} X$ [closed]
If $E|X_n|to E|X|$ then $X_n overset{1}{rightarrow} X$. I can't find a counterexample to prove that this is not necessarily true. Any hints?

What does $X_noverset{1}{to}X$ mean? Convergence in $L^1$?

Forget about the subscript $n$ and the (implied) series. If you have just two r.v.s and $E[Y]=E[X]$, does that imply $Y=X$ in any sense? Surely not.

$X_n=-1,X=1$ is a counterexample.
Thanks. And what about the case without the absolute value, is it still false?

@Bayesianguy Take $X$ standard normal and $X_n=-X$ for all $n$.
