Shape of term structures compatible with flexible choice of diffusion

Mathematical Finance 2025-11-17 v2

Abstract

We identify all smooth manifolds of curves for Heath-Jarrow-Morton models that are consistent with any tangential diffusion coefficient. In fact, we show that these manifolds cannot be affine but must be of linear-rational type.
