Plain-English statement
A localizing sequence stops an integrand where it is square-integrable and exhausts the requested time interval almost surely.
Mathematical statement
tau_n are increasing stopping times, E integral_0^T |eta_t 1_{t<=tau_n}|^2 dt is finite, and tau_n tends to T almost surely.
Intuition
Each stopped problem lies in the global L2 theory; the almost-sure limit recovers the original finite interval.
Conditions
- progressive measurability
- stopping-time measurability
- monotonicity
- finite stopped L2 norms
- a.s. convergence
Why these conditions cannot be dropped
- progressiveness makes the stochastic integrand admissible
- the L2 condition permits the existing Ito integral
- the limit ensures the stops exhaust the target interval
Proof route
- this is the exact source definition
- the canonical sequence is proved separately
Lean interface notes
- the L2 quantity is an ENNReal iterated lintegral
- NNReal time uses the pullback of real Lebesgue measure
Read the mathematics first, then descend into Lean
You do not need to know Lean before opening this panel. The page keeps the paper-level theorem, rigorous proof obligations, exact Lean declaration, and proof dependencies as separate layers so a first-time reader can move down one layer at a time.
Proof architecture
Start with the tree when learning: prerequisites sit below the theorem and downstream results sit above it. Switch to the network when you want to understand where this declaration lives in the local formal library. Every mapped node is clickable.
Graph rule: only dependencies found by the ASTIS source scan are drawn. Missing tactic indirection is treated as an under-approximation; the site never invents an edge just to make a prettier graph.
How to read the exact Lean declaration
Read a Lean theorem left-to-right exactly as you would unpack a mathematical sentence: name → ambient types → automatically inferred structures → explicit hypotheses → conclusion → proof. Then read the proof top-to-bottom as transformations of the current goal.

- ParametersWhich symbols are arbitrary, and which structures are inferred by typeclass search?
- PropositionAfter the colon, translate the Lean expression back into a paper statement.
- Proof actionsAfter
by, ask what each tactic does to the mathematical goal—not only what syntax it uses.

This glossary is filtered to syntax that actually occurs in the declaration above. Open a symbol only when you meet it, rather than memorizing Lean grammar in advance.
Source voice and ASTIS voice stay separate
When Samplinglib shows a short quotation from Chewi, it is labeled as a source excerpt and linked to the canonical book page. Intuition, expanded proof steps, hidden regularity assumptions, and Lean explanations are ASTIS-authored commentary. A quotation never substitutes for a formal proof, and an ASTIS explanation is never attributed to the textbook author.

/-- Chewi Definition 1.1.15: an adapted process is a local martingale when a
monotone sequence of stopping times tends to infinity almost surely and every
stopped, initially centered process is a martingale.
The limit is the *topological* neighborhood of `⊤` in `WithTop ℝ≥0`. Using
the order filter `atTop` as the codomain would be too strong here because
`WithTop ℝ≥0` has a greatest element: that filter would force the stopping
times to be eventually equal to `⊤`, rather than allowing finite stopping
times to diverge to infinity as in Chewi's definition. -/
