Characteristic functions of measures on geometric rough paths (1307.3580v6)
Published 12 Jul 2013 in math.PR
Abstract: We define a characteristic function for probability measures on the signatures of geometric rough paths. We determine sufficient conditions under which a random variable is uniquely determined by its expected signature, thus partially solving the analogue of the moment problem. We furthermore study analyticity properties of the characteristic function and prove a method of moments for weak convergence of random variables. We apply our results to signature arising from L\'evy, Gaussian and Markovian rough paths.
