New method characterizes expected signature kernels for Lévy rough paths

Researchers have developed a method to characterize the expected signature kernel for Lévy rough paths, a measure of similarity for probability laws on path space. This work builds upon previous research and provides a new description for these kernels, particularly in the context of Goursat-type systems. The study details how to handle both continuous and jump processes, offering finite-dimensional truncations with error control for the latter. Additionally, the paper presents a way to derive an unbiased statistic for signature-MMD tests for conditionally Gaussian martingales, demonstrating variance reduction and increased power through computable finite-grid versions.
