We study the probability mass at the origin in the SABR stochastic volatility model, and derive several tractable expressions for it, in particular when time becomes small or large. In the uncorrelated case, tedious saddlepoint expansions allow for (semi) closed-form asymptotic formulae. As an...

We consider a stochastic volatility stock price model in which the volatility is a non-centered continuous Gaussian process with arbitrary prescribed mean and covariance. By exhibiting a Karhunen-Lo\`{e}ve expansion for the integrated variance, and using sharp estimates of the density of a...

In the paper, we characterize the asymptotic behavior of the implied volatility of a basket call option at large and small strikes in a variety of settings with increasing generality. First, we obtain an asymptotic formula with an error bound for the left wing of the implied volatility, under...

We obtain a first order extension of the large deviation estimates in the G\"{a}rtner-Ellis theorem. In addition, for a given family of measures, we find a special family of functions having a similar Laplace principle expansion up to order one to that of the original family of measures. The...

The main object of study in the paper is the distance from a point to a line in the Riemannian manifold associated with the Heston model. We reduce the problem of computing such a distance to certain minimization problems for functions of one variable over finite intervals. One of the main ideas...

The asymptotic behavior of the implied volatility associated with a general call pricing function has been extensively studied in the last decade. The main topics discussed in this paper are Lee's moment formulas for the implied volatility, and Piterbarg's conjecture, describing how the implied...

It is known that Heston's stochastic volatility model exhibits moment explosion, and that the critical moment s+ can be obtained by solving (numerically) a simple equation. This yields a leading-order expansion for the implied volatility at large strikes: σBS(k, T)2T ∼ Ψ(s+ - 1) × k (Roger...
