Pure rough path signature-tail asymptotics conjecture

Let (V,)(V,\|\cdot\|) be a finite-dimensional Banach space, and let the tensor products be equipped with given reasonable tensor algebra norms. Let ll be a Lie polynomial of degree mm, and write πn\pi_n for projection to VnV^{\otimes n}. For a pure mm-rough path Xt=exp(tl)G(m)(V){\bf X}_t=\exp(tl)\in G^{(m)}(V), the signature tail asymptotics Lm(X)L_m({\bf X}) is defined using the degree-nn signature components; in the algebraic formulation this quantity is

lim supn((nm)!πn(exp(l)))mn.\limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left(\left(\frac{n}{m}\right)!\|\pi_n(\exp(l))\|\right)^{\frac{m}{n}}.

Pure rough path signature-tail asymptotics conjecture. For every pure mm-rough path, the tail asymptotics equals its local mm-variation, namely

Lm(X)=πm(l).L_m({\bf X})=\|\pi_m(l)\|.

This extends the bounded-variation formula and is consistent with the Brownian-motion case. The result is known for m=1m=1, and for V=R2V=\mathbb{R}^2 with the l1l^1-norm it is established for m=2,3m=2,3 and some cases in degrees 4,54,5; the general statement remains open.
