An analytical perturbative solution to the Merton Garman model using symmetries
In this paper, we introduce an analytical perturbative solution to the Merton Garman model. It is obtained by doing perturbation theory around the exact analytical solution of a model which possesses a two-dimensional Galilean symmetry. We compare our perturbative solution of the Merton Garman model to Monte Carlo simulations and find that our solutions performs surprisingly well for a wide range of parameters. We also show how to use symmetries to build option pricing models. Our results demonstrate that the concept of symmetry is important in mathematical finance.

Gauge symmetries and the Higgs mechanism in Quantum Finance
By using the Hamiltonian formulation, we demonstrate that the Merton-Garman equation emerges naturally from the Black-Scholes equation after imposing invariance (symmetry) under local (gauge) transformations over changes…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in Quantum Finance
We analyze the phenomena of spontaneous symmetry breaking in Quantum Finance by using as a starting point the Black-Scholes (BS) and the Merton-Garman (MG) equations expressed in the Hamiltonian form. In this scenario th…
On the Local equivalence of the Black Scholes and the Merton Garman equations
It was demonstrated previously that the stochastic volatility emerges as the gauge field necessary for restoring the local symmetry under changes of the prices of the stocks inside the Black-Scholes (BS) equation. When t…
On the multiplicity of the martingale condition: Spontaneous symmetry breaking in Quantum Finance
We demonstrate that the martingale condition in the stock market can be interpreted as a vacuum condition when we express the financial equations in the Hamiltonian form. We then show that the symmetry under the changes …
On Noncommutative Quantum Mechanics and the Black-Scholes Model
Two novel and direct quantum mechanical representations of the Black-Scholes model are constructed based on the (Wick-rotated) quantization of two specific mechanical systems. The quantum setup is achieved by means of th…
