We obtain a Hull and White type formula for a general jump-diffusion stochastic volatility model, where the involved stochastic volatility process is correlated not only with the Brownian motion driving the asset price but also with the asset price jumps. Towards this end, we establish an anticipative Itô's formula, using Malliavin calculus techniques for Lévy processes on the canonical space. As an application, we show that the dependence of the volatility process on the asset price jumps has no effect on the short-time behavior of the at-the-money implied volatility skew.

AbstractWe examine the fine structure of the short time behavior of solutions to various linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations ut = iΔu+q(u) on I×ℝn, with initial data u(0, x) = f (x). Particular attention is paid to cases where f is piecewise smooth, with jump across an (n−1)-dimensional surface. We give detailed analyses of Gibbs-like phenomena and also focusing effects, including analogues of the Pinsky phenomenon. We give results for general n in the linear case. We also have detailed analyses for a broad class of nonlinear equations when n = 1 and 2, with emphasis on the analysis of the first order correction to the solution of the corresponding linear equation. This work complements estimates on the error in this approximation.
