Abstract: 
We propose a sequential topology on the collection of sub-sigma-algebras included in a separable probability space. We prove compactness of the conditional expectations with respect to L2-bounded random variables along sequences of sub-sigma-algebras. The varying index of measurability is captured by a bundle space construction. As a consequence, we establish the compactness of the space of sub-sigma-algebras. The proposed topology preserves independence and is compatible with join and meet operations. Finally, a new application to information economics is discussed.
