Popis: We give a new characterization for mutual absolute continuity of probability measures on a filtered space. For this, we introduce a martingale limit $M$ that measures the similarity between the tails of the probability measures restricted to the filtration. The measures are mutually absolutely continuous if and only if $M = 1$ holds almost surely for both measures. In this case, the square roots of the Radon-Nikodym derivatives on the filtration converge in $L^2$. Finally, we apply the result to families of random variables and stochastic processes.
