Mass at zero in the uncorrelated SABR model and implied volatility asymptotics
We study the mass at the origin in the uncorrelated SABR stochastic volatility model, and derive several tractable expressions, in particular when time becomes small or large. As an application--in fact the original motivation for this paper--we derive small-strike expansions for the implied volatility when the maturity becomes short or large. These formulae, by definition arbitrage free, allow us to quantify the impact of the mass at zero on existing implied volatility approximations, and in particular how correct/erroneous these approximations become.

A note on the option price and 'Mass at zero in the uncorrelated SABR model and implied volatility asymptotics'
Gulisashvili et al. [Quant. Finance, 2018, 18(10), 1753-1765] provide a small-time asymptotics for the mass at zero under the uncorrelated stochastic-alpha-beta-rho (SABR) model by approximating the integrated variance w…
MathNumerical IntegrationA lower bound for the volatility swap in the lognormal SABR model
In the short time to maturity limit it is proved that for the conditionally lognormal SABR model the zero vanna implied volatility is a lower bound for the volatility swap strike. The result is valid for all values of th…
validSmall-time asymptotics for a general local-stochastic volatility model with a jump-to-default: curvature and the heat kernel expansion
We compute a sharp small-time estimate for implied volatility under a general uncorrelated local-stochastic volatility model. For this we use the Bellaiche \cite{Bel81} heat kernel expansion combined with Laplace's metho…
Proof of non-convergence of the short-maturity expansion for the SABR model
We study the convergence properties of the short maturity expansion of option prices in the uncorrelated log-normal ($\beta=1$) SABR model. In this model the option time-value can be represented as an integral of the for…
On asymptotically arbitrage-free approximations of the implied volatility
Following-up Fukasawa and Gatheral (Frontiers of Mathematical Finance, 2022), we prove that the BBF formula, the SABR formula, and the rough SABR formula provide asymptotically arbitrage-free approximations of the implie…
