Almost everywhere bounded function












2












$begingroup$


Let $psi$ be measurable function such that for all $ f in L^{1}(mu)$, $ fpsi in L^{1}(mu)$. Then $psi$ is bounded almost everywhere(in sense of measure $mu$).



My attempt:
Use contraposition: if $psi $ isn't bounded everywhere then $forall M>0$, there exists a set $A$ such that $mu (A)>0 $ and $ psi(x) > M , forall x in A$. Now i need to prove that there is an $f in L^{1} $ such that $ fpsi notin L^{1} $. But I don't know how.



Any help or hint would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

    I guess you rather mean $psi(x)>M$ $forall xin A$ ?

We can prove this statement using Baire Category argument. But here, I will argue by contrapositive showing that
$$
psi notin L^infty(mu) implies exists fin L^1(mu) : fpsinotin L^1(mu).
$$
Let $E_j ={ 2^jle |psi|<2^{j+1}}$ and $c_j = mu (E_j).$ Note that assumption implies $c_j>0$ for infinitely many $j$'s. Define $J={j:c_j>0}$ and $$
f(x) = sum_{jin J} frac{1}{c_j sqrt{2}^{j}} 1_{E_j}(x).
$$
Then $int |f|=int f =sum_{jin J} 2^{-j/2}<infty$. However,
$$
|psi(x)||f(x)| ge 2^jfrac{1}{c_j sqrt{2}^{j}}=frac{sqrt{2}^{j}}{c_j}
$$
on each $E_j, jin J$, which implies
$$
int |psi f|=sum_{jin J} int_{E_j} |psi f| ge sum_{jin J}int_{E_j}frac{sqrt{2}^{j}}{c_j}=sum_{jin J} sqrt{2}^j =infty.
$$
Thus $psi fnotin L^1(mu)$ and the claim is proved.
