Lévy processes are useful tools for analysis and modeling of jump‐diffusion processes. Such processes are commonly used in the financial and physical sciences. One approach to building new Lévy processes is through subordination, or a random time change.

SOME PRICING TOOLS FOR THE VARIANCE GAMMA MODEL [PDF]
We establish several closed pricing formulas for various path-independent payoffs, under an exponential Lévy model driven by the Variance Gamma process. These formulas take the form of quickly convergent series and are obtained via tools from Mellin transform theory as well as from multidimensional complex analysis.

Pricing Embedded Options Using Fast Fourier Transform to Compare Variance Gamma and Black-Scholes-Merton Model Efficiency [PDF]
Embedded options are virtually new instruments identical to options in many aspects except their non-tradable nature. Testing the efficiency of the Variance Gamma and Black-Scholes-Merton model on these instruments would provide a vision of transitioning

Pricing and Hedging Index Options under Mean-Variance Criteria in Incomplete Markets
This paper studies the portfolio selection problem where tradable assets are a bank account, and standard put and call options are written on the S&P 500 index in incomplete markets in which there exist bid–ask spreads and finite liquidity.

Stationary-increment Student and variance-gamma processes [PDF]
A continuous-time model with stationary increments for asset price {P t } is an extension of the symmetric subordinator model of Heyde (1999), and allows for skewness of returns. In the setting of independent variance-gamma-distributed returns the model resembles closely that of Madan, Carr, and Chang ...

Étude théorique de la compression de spin nucléaire par mesure quantique non destructive en continu
We propose to take advantage of the very weak coupling of the ground-state helium-3 nuclear spin to its environment to produce very long-lived macroscopic quantum states, here nuclear spin squeezed states, in a gas cell at room temperature.

Option Pricing in a Dynamic Variance-Gamma Model [PDF]
We present a discrete time stochastic volatility model in which the conditional distribution of the logreturns is a Variance-Gamma, that is a normal variance-mean mixture with Gamma mixing density. We assume that the Gamma mixing density is time varying and follows an affine Garch model, trying to capture persistence of volatility shocks and also ...

A matrix approach to the statistics of longevity in heterogeneous frailty models
Background: The gamma-Gompertz model is a fixed frailty model in which baseline mortality increasesexponentially with age, frailty has a proportional effect on mortality, and frailty at birth follows a gamma distribution.
