Maximum Implied Variance Slope -- Practical Aspects
In the Black-Scholes model, the absence of arbitrages imposes necessary constraints on the slope of the implied variance in terms of log-moneyness, asymptotically for large log-moneyness. The constraints are used for example in the SVI implied volatility parameterization to ensure the resulting smile has no arbitrages. This note shows that those no-arbitrage contraints are very mild, and that arbitrage is almost always guaranteed in a large range of slopes where the contraints are enforced.

The ATM implied volatility slope, the (dual) volatility swap, and the (dual) zero vanna implied volatility
Exact relationships between the short time-to-maturity ATM implied volatility slope, the (dual) volatility swap, and the (dual) zero vanna implied volatility are given.

What kind of implied volatility extrapolation is appropriate? Roger Lee proved that the Black-Scholes implied variance can not grow faster than linearly in log-moneyness. This paper investigates what happens in the Bache…
Small-maturity asymptotics for the at-the-money implied volatility slope in L\'evy models
We consider the at-the-money strike derivative of implied volatility as the maturity tends to zero. Our main results quantify the behavior of the slope for infinite activity exponential L\'evy models including a Brownian…
Heath-Jarrow-Morton meet lifted Heston in energy markets for joint historical and implied calibration
In energy markets, joint historical and implied calibration is of paramount importance for practitioners yet notoriously challenging due to the need to align historical correlations of futures contracts with implied vola…
On the skew and curvature of implied and local volatilities
In this paper, we study the relationship between the short-end of the local and the implied volatility surfaces. Our results, based on Malliavin calculus techniques, recover the recent $\frac{1}{H+3/2}$ rule (where $H$ d…
