4 Conditional laws Focus on : Law(Z Y t = y) Question of the asymptotic behavior : as t 0, or y. Related to : law of diffusion bridge under partial conditioning, X Y t = y Applications : asymptotics of Allows for : σ 2 loc(t, y) := E[Z 2 t Y t = y] Extrapolation of local volatility in given models. Justification of parameterizations of the local volatility surface : a result such as σloc 2 (t, y) lim = c t > 0 y ± y motivates asymptotically linear (e.g. Gatheral s SVI-type) functional forms. S.

6 Stochastic volatility systems are hypoelliptic Generic SV model (S t = S 0 e Yt ) : dy = 1 2 Z 2 dt + ZdB 1, Y 0 = 0, dz = β(z)dt + α(z)db 2, Z 0 0 (B 1, B 2 ) = C(W 1, W 2 ), C correlation. Diffusion vector fields : ( z C σ 1 (z) = 11 α(z) C 21 ) ( z C σ 2 (z) = 12 α(z) C 22 ). {z = 0, α(z) 0} elliptic region {z = 0} sub-elliptic set S. De Marco (Ecole Polytechnique) 7/01/14 4 / 15

7 Density asymptotics, small time (old) Log-estimate (Varadhan) lim t log p t(x 0, x) = Λ(x 0, x) t 0 with Λ(x 0, x) the energy of the deterministic control system dϕ = j σ j (ϕ)ḣj dt, ϕ 0 = x 0, ḣ L 2 ([0, 1]) 1 } Λ(x 0, x) := inf{ 2 ḣ 2 : ϕ 0 (h) = x 0, ϕ 1 (h) = x Varadhan 67 : σ 1,..., σ d uniformly elliptic Léandre 87,87 : degenerate vector fields : Lie(σ 1,..., σ d ) x = R n for all x Very general : no condition on x 0, x. Note : Λ(x 0, x) = 1 2 d2 (x 0, x) the geodesics distance of x 0 to x. S. De Marco (Ecole Polytechnique) 7/01/14 5 / 15

8 Density asymptotics, small time (old) Exact asymptotics of p t heat kernel expansion p t (x 0, x) = 1 e tn/2 Λ(x 0,x) t ( k j=0 ) c j (x 0, x)t j + R k+1 (x 0, x; t), t 0 Molchanov 75 (elliptic diffusions), Léandre 87, Ben Arous 88, (building on Bismut, Azencott), Watanabe 87,(...) based on the regularity of the energy Λ(x 0, x). holds under non-degeneracy conditions on (x 0, x) : not in cut-locus condition from sub-riemannian geometry. Diagonal behavior (x = x 0 ) is different in general : exactly because the non-degeneracy condition fails if x 0 is a sub-elliptic point. S. De Marco (Ecole Polytechnique) 7/01/14 6 / 15

11 Small-noise spatial asymptotics If θ-scaling : Y ε L = ε θ Y then p Y (y) = ε θ p Y ε(1) ε= y 1/θ : that is, y translates into ε 0. S. De Marco (Ecole Polytechnique) 7/01/14 9 / 15

12 Small-noise spatial asymptotics If θ-scaling : Y ε L = ε θ Y then p Y (y) = ε θ p Y ε(1) ε= y 1/θ : that is, y translates into ε 0. Example : a model with Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic volatility dy = 1 2 Z 2 dt + ZdB 1, Y 0 = 0 dz = (a+bz)d + cdb 2, Z 0 = z 0 > 0 has 2-scaling for Y : with Y ε = ε 2 Y, Z ε = εz, dy ε = 1 2 (Z ε ) 2 dt + εz ε db 1, Y ε 0 = 0, dz ε = (aε+bz ε )dt + ε c db 2, Z ε 0 = εz 0. note : (Y0 ε, Z 0 ε ) (0, 0) (hypoelliptic point) Also have : lim y ± E[Z 2 t Yt=y] y = lim ε 0 E [ ] (Zt ε ) 2 Yt ε = ±1 S.

13 Density asymptotics, small-noise (X ε p ε (x)dx) Log-estimates (still old!) Ben Arous & Léandre 91 lim sup ε 2 log p ε (x) Λ(x) ε 0 lim inf ε 0 ε2 log p ε (x) Λ R (x) The upper bound : the classical energy (seen before) 1 } Λ(x) = inf{ 2 ḣ 2 : ϕ 0 (h) = x 0, ϕ t (h) = x The lower bound : minimum energy over the regular controls steering x 0 to x 1 } Λ R := inf{ 2 ḣ 2 : ϕ 0 (h) = x 0, ϕ t (h) = x, rk(d h ϕ(h)) is max In other words : invertibility of the deterministic Malliavin matrix D h ϕ(h), D h ϕ(h) S. De Marco (Ecole Polytechnique) 7/01/14 10 / 15

14 Asymptotics of conditional densities, small-noise Under some technical conditions (Hörmander + existence of regular minimizing controls from x 0 to hyperplane x = (y, )) : Theorem (DM&Friz 13) (i) Log-estimate of the density of Y ε : lim ǫ 0 ε2 log p Y ε(y) = minλ(y, z). z (ii) Law of large numbers for the conditional law : provided z := argmin z Λ(y, z) is unique. Law (Z ε t Y ε t = y) = δ z ε 0 Checkable hypotheses in terms of the SDE coefficients. Limits characterized in terms of Hamiltonian equations (explicit solution in some cases, see below) Estimates of log p ε X are enough to establish the result. S. De Marco (Ecole Polytechnique) 7/01/14 11 / 15

15 Asymptotics of local volatilities Corollary (i) [Local volatility, short time behavior] In a generic stochastic volatility model (Y, Z) (where Y denotes log-price and Z stochastic volatility) σ 2 loc(t, y) = E[Z 2 t Y t = y] z (y) 2 as t 0. removes the ellipticity assumptions in Berestycki et al. 04 (ii) [Local volatility wings ] In models with OU stochastic volatility (Stein Stein, Schöbel Zhu) : lim y ± σloc 2 (t, y) = lim y y ± 1 y E[Z 2 t Y t = y] = z (±1) 2 > 0 z (±1) known explicitly in terms of the model parameters.

Spatial scaling holds for X ε := ε 1/(1 γ) X : dxt ε = (ε 1/(1 γ) a+bxt ε )dt + εσ(xt ε ) γ db t, X0 ε = ε 1/(1 γ) x The limit ODE ϕ t = βϕ t + σϕ γ t ḣtdt, ϕ 0 = 0 admits infinitely many solutions, for any h new situation in W F theory.
