Motivated by recent applications in rough volatility and regularity structures, notably the notion of singular modeled distribution, we study paths, rough paths and related objects with a quantified singularity at zero. In a pure path setting, this allows us to leverage on existing SLE Besov estimates to see that SLE traces takes values in a singular Hölder space, which quantifies a well-known boundary effect in the regime 𝐾 < 1. We then consider the integration theory against singular rough paths and some extensions thereof. This gives a method to reconcile, from a regularity structure point of view, different singular kernels used to construct (fractional) rough volatility models and an effective reduction to the stationary case which is crucial to apply general renormalization methods.
