Tuesday April 8, 2014
8:30–9:15 Thomas CASS Constrained rough paths  
9:15–10:00 Philipp HARMS Expected Signature of Lévy Processes The expected signature of Léevy processes (i.e., the expectation of iterated integrals of the process with respect to itself) has an expression which closely resembles the Léevy-Kintchine formula. We provide an elementary proof of this fact, which was established by Friz and Shekhar (2012) using the theory of rough paths, and discuss some generalisations.

16:45–17:30 Antoine JACQUIER Shapes of implied volatility with positive mass at zero  
17:30–18:15 Leif DÖRING Time-changed SABR We discuss a simple time-change for the SABR model and explain two applications to the Feller property and a non-ergodicity property.
