Relation between asymptotic $L_p$-convergence and some classical modes of convergence

TL;DR
The paper investigates how asymptotic $L_p$-convergence ($\alpha_p$-convergence) relates to classical convergence notions, specifically convergence in measure and convergence in weak $L_p$ spaces. It defines $\alpha_p$-convergence and proves that on finite measure spaces this notion is equivalent to convergence in measure, while also clarifying the relationship between $\alpha_p$-convergence and $\alpha_p$-Cauchy sequences. It further analyzes the interaction with weak $L_p$ spaces, providing counterexamples that show $\alpha_p$-convergence and $L_{p,\infty}$-convergence need not imply each other, though convergence in $L_{p,\infty}$ does imply $\alpha_p$-convergence in finite measure spaces. Finally, it introduces almost $L_p$ spaces $A_p$, showing nontrivial separations from $L_{p,\infty}$ in general, and establishes $L_{p,\infty}\subseteq A_p$ when the underlying measure space has finite measure.
Abstract
Asymptotic $L_p$-convergence, which resembles convergence in $L_p$, was introduced to address a question in diffusive relaxation. This note aims to compare asymptotic $L_p$-convergence with convergence in measure and in weak $L_p$ spaces. One of the results characterizes convergence in measure on finite measure spaces in terms of asymptotic $L_p$-convergence.
