The Hull-White Model under Volatility Uncertainty
We study the Hull-White model for the term structure of interest rates in the presence of volatility uncertainty. The uncertainty about the volatility is represented by a set of beliefs, which naturally leads to a sublinear expectation and a G-Brownian motion. The main question in this setting is how to find an arbitrage-free term structure. This question is crucial, since we can show that the classical approach, martingale modeling, does not work in the presence of volatility uncertainty. Therefore, we need to adjust the model in order to find an arbitrage-free term structure. The resulting term structure is affine with respect to the short rate and the adjustment factor. Although the adjustment changes the structure of the model, it is still consistent with the traditional Hull-White model after fitting the yield curve. In addition, we extend the model and the results to a multifactor version, driven by multiple risk factors.

Hull and White and Alòs type formulas for barrier options in stochastic volatility models with nonzero correlation
Two novel closed-form formulas for the price of barrier options in stochastic volatility models with zero interest rate and dividend yield but nonzero correlation between the asset and its instantaneous volatility are de…
FormRandomization of Short-Rate Models, Analytic Pricing and Flexibility in Controlling Implied Volatilities
We focus on extending existing short-rate models, enabling control of the generated implied volatility while preserving analyticity. We achieve this goal by applying the Randomized Affine Diffusion (RAnD) method to the c…
On the Hull-White model with volatility smile for Valuation Adjustments
Affine Diffusion dynamics are frequently used for Valuation Adjustments (xVA) calculations due to their analytic tractability. However, these models cannot capture the market-implied skew and smile, which are relevant wh…
Robust Pricing of Equity-Indexed Annuities under Uncertain Volatility and Stochastic Interest Rate
In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for pricing equity-indexed annuities featuring cliquet-style payoff structures and early surrender risk, using advanced financial modeling techniques. Specifically, the marke…
Option Pricing with Orthogonal Polynomial Expansions
We derive analytic series representations for European option prices in polynomial stochastic volatility models. This includes the Jacobi, Heston, Stein-Stein, and Hull-White models, for which we provide numerical case s…
