Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the sigma-antithetic multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) estimator for a multi-dimensional diffusion which is an extended version of the original antithetic MLMC one introduced by Giles and Szpruch cite{a}. Our aim is to study the asymptotic behavior of the weak errors involved in this new algorithm. Among the obtained results, we prove that the error between on the one hand the average of the Milstein scheme without L'evy area and its sigma-antithetic version build on the finer grid and on the other hand the coarse approximation stably converges in distribution with a rate of order 1. We also prove that the error between the Milstein scheme without L'evy area and its sigma-antithetic version stably converges in distribution with a rate of order 1/2. More precisely, we have a functional limit theorem on the asymptotic behavior of the joined distribution of these errors based on a triangular array approach (see e.g. Jacod cite{c}). Thanks to this result, we establish a central limit theorem of Lindeberg-Feller type for the sigma-antithetic MLMC estimator. The time complexity of the algorithm is carried out.
