proof of Borel-Cantelli 1
Let be the event for. If is in the event ’s i.o., then for all . So .
Conversely, if for all , then we can show that is in ’s i.o. Indeed, means that for some . However implies that for some that isstrictly larger than . Thus we can produce an infinitesequence of integer such that for all .
Let be the event . We have
From for all , it follows that for all . By union bound, we know that . So , by thehypothesis that is finite. Therefore, .
