A Lower Bound for the Volatility Swap in the Lognormal SABR Model [PDF]
In the short time to maturity limit, it is proved that for the conditionally lognormal SABR model the zero vanna implied volatility is a lower bound for the volatility swap strike.

Asymptotics of the time-discretized log-normal SABR model: The implied volatility surface [PDF]
We propose a novel time discretization for the log-normal SABR model which is a popular stochastic volatility model that is widely used in financial practice. Our time discretization is a variant of the Euler-Maruyama scheme. We study its asymptotic properties in the limit of a large number of time steps under a certain asymptotic regime which includes

The equivalent constant-elasticity-of-variance (CEV) volatility of the stochastic-alpha-beta-rho (SABR) model [PDF]
This study presents new analytic approximations of the stochastic-alpha-beta-rho (SABR) model. Unlike existing studies that focus on the equivalent Black-Scholes (BS) volatility, we instead derive the equivalent constant-elasticity-of-variance (CEV) volatility.

A VOLATILITY-OF-VOLATILITY EXPANSION OF THE OPTION PRICES IN THE SABR STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY MODEL [PDF]
We propose a new type of asymptotic expansion for the transition probability density function (or heat kernel) of certain parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) that appear in option pricing. As other, related methods developed by Costanzino, Hagan, Gatheral, Lesniewski, Pascucci, and their collaborators, among others, our method is based on ...

A Note on the Option Price and 'Mass at Zero in the Uncorrelated SABR Model and Implied Volatility Asymptotics' [PDF]
Gulisashvili et al. [Quant. Finance, 2018, 18(10), 1753-1765] provide a small-time asymptotics for the mass at zero under the uncorrelated stochastic-alpha-beta-rho (SABR) model by approximating the integrated variance with a moment-matched lognormal distribution.

Asymptotic Implied Volatility at the Second Order with Application to the SABR Model [PDF]
We provide a general method to compute a Taylor expansion in time of implied volatility for stochastic volatility models, using a heat kernel expansion. Beyond the order 0 implied volatility which is already known, we compute the first order correction exactly at all strikes from the scalar coefficient of the heat kernel expansion.

Volatility Swap Under the SABR Model [PDF]
The SABR model is shortly presented and the volatility swap explained. The fair value for a volatility swap is then computed using the usual theory in financial mathematics. An analytical solution using confluent hypergeometric functions is found. The solution is then verified using Rama Cont's functional calculus.

Static and dynamic SABR stochastic volatility models: calibration and option pricing using GPUs [PDF]
For the calibration of the parameters in static and dynamic SABR stochastic volatility models, we propose the application of the GPU technology to the Simulated Annealing global optimization algorithm and to the Monte Carlo simulation. This calibration has been performed for EURO STOXX 50 index and EUR/USD exchange rate with an asymptotic formula for ...

Target volatility option pricing in lognormal fractional SABR model [PDF]
We examine in this article the pricing of target volatility options in the lognormal fractional SABR model. A decomposition formula by Ito's calculus yields a theoretical replicating strategy for the target volatility option, assuming the accessibilities of all variance swaps and swaptions.

Mass at zero in the uncorrelated SABR model and implied volatility asymptotics [PDF]
15 pages, 2 tables, 8 figures This updated version concentrates on the small- and large-time asymptotic behaviour of the mass at zero in the uncorrelated SABR model. Some geometric considerations regarding the correlated case are provided in a companion paper arXiv:1610 ...
