The Black-Scholes-Merton dual equation
We derive the Black-Scholes-Merton dual equation, which has exactly the same form as the Black-Scholes-Merton equation. The novel and general equation works for options with a payoff of homogeneous of degree one, including European, American, Bermudan, Asian, barrier, lookback, etc., and leads to new insights into pricing and hedging. Perceptibly, a put-call equality emerges - all the put options can be priced as their corresponding calls by simultaneously swapping stock price (dividend yield) for strike price (risk-free rate), and vice versa. Equally important, we provide simple analytic formulas for hedging parameters delta and gamma, which elevate the put-call equality to true practical applicability. For futures options, the put-call equality leads to "symmetric" properties between puts and calls or among puts (calls).

Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Revisited: Did we Find a Fatal Flaw?
The option pricing formula of Black and Scholes (1973) hinges on the continuous-time self-financing condition, which is a special case of the continuous-time budget equation of Merton (1971). The self-financing condition…
Mathematical ProofsOn 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…
A derivation of the Black-Scholes option pricing model using a central limit theorem argument
The Black-Scholes model (sometimes known as the Black-Scholes-Merton model) gives a theoretical estimate for the price of European options. The price evolution under this model is described by the Black-Scholes formula, …
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…
Gap Risk KVA and Repo Pricing: An Economic Capital Approach in the Black-Scholes-Merton Framework
Although not a formal pricing consideration, gap risk or hedging errors are the norm of derivatives businesses. Starting with the gap risk during a margin period of risk of a repurchase agreement (repo), this article ext…
