SPX, VIX and scale-invariant LSV\footnote{Local Stochastic Volatility}

Local Stochastic Volatility (LSV) models have been used for pricing and hedging derivatives positions for over twenty years. An enormous body of literature covers analytical and numerical techniques for calibrating the model to market data. However, the literature misses a potent approach commonly u

Hydrodynamics of Markets:Hidden Links Between Physics and Finance

An intriguing link between a wide range of problems occurring in physics and financial engineering is presented. These problems include the evolution of small perturbations of linear flows in hydrodynamics, the movements of particles in random fields described by the Kolmogorov and Klein-Kramers equ

Kelvin Waves, Klein-Kramers and Kolmogorov Equations, Path-Dependent Financial Instruments: Survey and New Results

We discover several surprising relationships between large classes of seemingly unrelated foundational problems of financial engineering and fundamental problems of hydrodynamics and molecular physics. Solutions in all these domains can be reduced to solving affine differential equations commonly us
