Gaussian Processes and Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces: Connections and Equivalences
The monograph explores the relationships between Gaussian processes and reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS), two widely used approaches that rely on positive definite kernels. It examines how these frameworks connect and are equivalent across key topics such as regression, interpolation, numerical integration, distributional discrepancies, statistical dependence, and Gaussian process sample path properties. By establishing a unifying perspective based on the equivalence between the Gaussian Hilbert space and the RKHS, the work aims to bridge methods developed independently by the machine learning, statistics, and numerical analysis communities.

Global universality via discrete-time signatures
The paper proves global universal approximation theorems for non‑anticipative and general path‑dependent functionals on spaces of piecewise linear paths, showing that linear functionals of the corresponding signatures are dense in $L^p$ and weighted norms. It demonstrates that these results apply to piecewise linear interpolations of Gaussian processes, including Brownian motion and fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H>1/4$, and provides quantitative convergence rates for signatures of such approximations toward their continuous‑time counterparts. Consequently, the authors obtain $L^p$‑approximation results for path‑dependent functionals of Gaussian processes and for random ordinary and stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motion.

Generalized nonparametric regression in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces: Consistency and rates of convergence
We develop a comprehensive theory for regularized M-estimation in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Under mild conditions on the loss we establish existence and measurability of the estimator, covering a wide range of convex and non-convex losses, including bounded robust losses.
