The area enclosed by the two-dimensional Brownian motion in the plane was studied by L\'evy, who found the characteristic function and probability density of this random variable. For other planar processes, in particular ergodic diffusions…

The commonly accepted definition of paths starts from a random field but ignores the problem of setting joint distributions of infinitely many random variables for defining paths properly afterwards. This paper provides a turnaround that…

The sequence of moments of a vector-valued random variable can characterize its law. We study the analogous problem for path-valued random variables, that is stochastic processes, by using so-called robust signature moments. This allows us…
