Testing independence of functional variables by an Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion estimator

We propose an estimator of the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion obtained from an appropriate modification of the usual estimator. We then get asymptotic normality of this estimator both under independence hypothesis and under the alternative hypothesis. A new test for independence of random variables valued into metric spaces is then introduced, and a simulation study that allows to compare the proposed test to an existing one is provided
