Malliavin Calculus in Finance: Theory and Practice aims to introduce the study of stochastic volatility (SV) models via Malliavin Calculus.
Malliavin calculus has had a profound impact on stochastic analysis. Originally motivated by the study of the existence of smooth densities of certain random variables, it has proved to be a useful tool in many other problems. In particular, it has found applications in quantitative finance, as in the computation of hedging strategies or the efficient estimation of the Greeks.
The objective of this book is to offer a bridge between theory and practice. It shows that Malliavin calculus is an easy-to-apply tool that allows us to recover, unify, and generalize several previous results in the literature on stochastic volatility modeling related to the vanilla, the forward, and the VIX implied volatility surfaces. It can be applied to local, stochastic, and also to rough volatilities (driven by a fractional Brownian motion) leading to simple and explicit results.
Features

Intermediate-advanced level text on quantitative finance, oriented to practitioners with a basic background in stochastic analysis, which could also be useful for researchers and students in quantitative finance
Includes examples on concrete models such as the Heston, the SABR and rough volatilities, as well as several numerical experiments and the corresponding Python scripts
Covers applications on vanillas, forward start options, and options on the VIX.
The book also has a Github repository with the Python library corresponding to the numerical examples in the text. The library has been implemented so that the users can re-use the numerical code for building their examples. The repository can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/2KNex2Y.

Recenzii

"Malliavin calculus, alongside Ito calculus, is emerging as a vital tool for researchers in the area of financial engineering. This book provides an unprecedented and balanced account, taking the reader from theoretical foundations to practical applications, including state-of-the-art research topics like rough volatility and VIX option skew."
– Colin Turfus
"This book is a very valuable addition to the existing literature, demonstrating that the cutting-edge research in Mathematical Finance doesn't have to be far from commonly accepted quant practice."
– Vladimir Lucic, Visiting Professor, Dept. of Mathematics, Imperial College London
"The book is an excellent guide to the applications of the Malliavin calculus to finance. Starting with classical questions of non-arbitrage pricing and the Black-Scholes formula, the authors smoothly continue with volatility processes, studying, in particular, implied, spot and local volatilities. Various models with stochastic volatilities are considered, including models based on fractional Brownian motion and rough volatilities. Variance swaps and the VIX, volatility, and other types of swaps are studied. Then the main tools of Malliavin calculus are presented, together with applications of Malliavin calculus to the implied volatility surface and the implied volatility of non-vanilla options. So, the book is very promising for both mathematicians and practitioners and both mathematicians and practitioners will enjoy the beauty of the mathematical description of the world of real finance."
