The Forward Smile in Local-Stochastic Volatility Models [PDF]
We introduce an asymptotic expansion for forward start options in a multi-factor local-stochastic volatility model. We derive explicit approximation formulas for the so-called forward implied volatility which can be useful to price complex path-dependent

The Heston stochastic volatility model in Hilbert space [PDF]
We extend the Heston stochastic volatility model to a Hilbert space framework. The tensor Heston stochastic variance process is defined as a tensor product of a Hilbert-valued Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with itself. The volatility process is then defined by a Cholesky decomposition of the variance process.

The CIR stochastic volatility model is modified to introduce nonlinear mean reversion, with the long-run volatility average as a random variable controlled by two parts being modeled through a Brownian motion and a Markov chain, respectively.

A Generative Adversarial Network Approach to Calibration of Local Stochastic Volatility Models [PDF]
We propose a fully data-driven approach to calibrate local stochastic volatility (LSV) models, circumventing in particular the ad hoc interpolation of the volatility surface.

Stock Price Dynamics and Option Valuations under Volatility Feedback Effect [PDF]
According to the volatility feedback effect, an unexpected increase in squared volatility leads to an immediate decline in the price-dividend ratio. In this paper, we consider the properties of stock price dynamics and option valuations under the volatility feedback effect by modeling the joint dynamics of stock price, dividends, and volatility in ...

Heat modulated affine stochastic volatility models for forward curve dynamics [PDF]
We present a function-valued stochastic volatility model designed to capture the continuous-time evolution of forward curves in fixed-income or commodity markets. The dynamics of the (logarithmic) forward curves are defined by a Heath-Jarrow-Morton-Musiela stochastic partial differential equation modulated by an instantaneous volatility process that ...

An Hilbert space approach for a class of arbitrage free implied volatilities models [PDF]
We present an Hilbert space formulation for a set of implied volatility models introduced in \cite{BraceGoldys01} in which the authors studied conditions for a family of European call options, varying the maturing time and the strike price $T$ an $K$, to be arbitrage free. The arbitrage free conditions give a system of stochastic PDEs for the evolution

Robust forward investment and consumption under drift and volatility uncertainties: A randomization approach [PDF]
This paper studies robust forward investment and consumption preferences and optimal strategies for a risk-averse and ambiguity-averse agent in an incomplete financial market with drift and volatility uncertainties. We focus on non-zero volatility and constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) forward preferences. Given the non-convexity of the Hamiltonian

Accounting for stochastic interest rates, stochastic volatility and a general correlation structure in the valuation of forward starting options [PDF]
A quantitative analysis on the pricing of forward starting options under stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rates is performed. The main finding is that forward starting options not only depend on future smiles, but also directly on the ...

Spot and Forward Volatility in Foreign Exchange [PDF]
This paper investigates the empirical relation between spot and forward implied volatility in foreign exchange. We formulate and test the forward volatility unbiasedness hypothesis, which may be viewed as the volatility analogue to the extensively researched hypothesis of unbiasedness in forward exchange rates.
