Implied volatility in strict local martingale models
We consider implied volatilities in asset pricing models, where the discounted underlying is a strict local martingale under the pricing measure. Our main result gives an asymptotic expansion of the right wing of the implied volatility smile and shows that the strict local martingale property can be determined from this expansion. This result complements the well-known asymptotic results of Lee and Benaim-Friz, which apply only to true martingales. This also shows that `price bubbles' in the sense of strict local martingale behaviour can in principle be detected by an analysis of implied volatility. Finally we relate our results to left-wing expansions of implied volatilities in models with mass at zero by a duality method based on an absolutely continuous measure change.

Revisiting the Implied Remaining Variance framework of Carr and Sun (2014): Locally consistent dynamics and sandwiched martingales
Implied volatility is at the very core of modern finance, notwithstanding standard option pricing models continue to derive option prices starting from the joint dynamics of the underlying asset price and the spot volati…
Rough-Heston Local-Volatility Model
In industrial applications it is quite common to use stochastic volatility models driven by semi-martingale Markov volatility processes. However, in order to fit exactly market volatilities, these models are usually exte…

Rough volatility models have recently been empirically shown to provide a good fit to historical volatility time series and implied volatility smiles of SPX options. They are continuous-time stochastic volatility models,…

The Log Moment formula for implied volatility
We revisit the foundational Moment Formula proved by Roger Lee fifteen years ago. We show that when the underlying stock price martingale admits finite log-moments E[|log(S)|^q] for some positive q, the arbitrage-free gr…
