Volatility is rough

J Gatheral, T Jaisson, M Rosenbaum - Quantitative finance, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Estimating volatility from recent high frequency data, we revisit the question of the
smoothness of the volatility process. Our main result is that log-volatility behaves essentially …

Affine volterra processes

E Abi Jaber, M Larsson, S Pulido - 2019 - projecteuclid.org
We introduce affine Volterra processes, defined as solutions of certain stochastic
convolution equations with affine coefficients. Classical affine diffusions constitute a special …

Deep learning volatility: a deep neural network perspective on pricing and calibration in (rough) volatility models

B Horvath, A Muguruza, M Tomas - Quantitative Finance, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
We present a neural network-based calibration method that performs the calibration task
within a few milliseconds for the full implied volatility surface. The framework is consistently …

Perfect hedging in rough Heston models

OE Euch, M Rosenbaum - The Annals of Applied Probability, 2018 - JSTOR
Rough volatility models are known to reproduce the behavior of historical volatility data
while at the same time fitting the volatility surface remarkably well, with very few parameters …

Multifactor approximation of rough volatility models

E Abi Jaber, O El Euch - SIAM journal on financial mathematics, 2019 - SIAM
Rough volatility models are very appealing because of their remarkable fit of both historical
and implied volatilities. However, due to the non-Markovian and nonsemimartingale nature …

From constant to rough: A survey of continuous volatility modeling

G Di Nunno, K Kubilius, Y Mishura… - Mathematics, 2023 - mdpi.com
In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of continuous stochastic volatility models,
discussing their historical development and the key stylized facts that have driven the field …

Joint SPX & VIX calibration with Gaussian polynomial volatility models: Deep pricing with quantization hints

E Abi Jaber, C Illand, S Li - Mathematical Finance, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We consider the joint SPX & VIX calibration within a general class of Gaussian polynomial
volatility models in which the volatility of the SPX is assumed to be a polynomial function of a …

The quadratic rough Heston model and the joint S&P 500/VIX smile calibration problem

J Gatheral, P Jusselin, M Rosenbaum - arxiv preprint arxiv:2001.01789, 2020 - arxiv.org
Fitting simultaneously SPX and VIX smiles is known to be one of the most challenging
problems in volatility modeling. A long-standing conjecture due to Julien Guyon is that it may …

Lifting the Heston model

E Abi Jaber - Quantitative finance, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
How to reconcile the classical Heston model with its rough counterpart? We introduce a
lifted version of the Heston model with n multi-factors, sharing the same Brownian motion but …

Unexpected crossovers in correlated random-diffusivity processes

W Wang, F Seno, IM Sokolov, AV Chechkin… - New Journal of …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The passive and active motion of micron-sized tracer particles in crowded liquids and inside
living biological cells is ubiquitously characterised by'viscoelastic'anomalous diffusion, in …
