On a probability space, the L¹ norm is dominated by the L² norm: ‖f‖₁ ≤ ‖f‖₂.

If ∫ ‖f‖² dμ ≤ C for an L² function on a probability space, then ‖f‖₁ ≤ √C.

Key step toward the Kolmogorov three-series theorem: if the Zₙ are independent centered (mean zero) integrable random variables whose partial sums Sₙ = ∑_{k≤n} Zₖ are uniformly bounded in L¹, then Sₙ converges almost surely. This is proved by realizing Sₙ as a martingale and applying the L¹-bounded martingale convergence theorem.
