We consider an SDE in R^m of the type dX(t)=a(X(t))dt+dU(t) with a L\'evy process U and study the problem for the distribution of a solution to be regular in various senses. We do not impose any specific conditions on the L\'evy measure of…

Bouncing solutions are obtained from a generally covariant action characterized by a potential which is a nonlocal functional of the dilaton field at two separated space-time points. Gradient instabilities are shown to arise in this context…

The calibration of a local volatility models to a given set of option prices is a classical problem of mathematical finance. It was considered in multiple papers where various solutions were proposed. In this paper an extension of the…

We show weak convergence of the time-$t$ marginals for the integrated variance in a re-scaled rough Heston model to an Inverse Gaussian L\'{e}vy process. This shows we can obtain such a limit without having to impose that the true Hurst…

Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative L\'evy noise and monotone nonlinear drift are considered. Unlike other similar works, we do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients. We establish the continuous…

In this paper, we study stochastic volatility models in regimes where the maturity is small, but large compared to the mean-reversion time of the stochastic volatility factor. The problem falls in the class of averaging/homogenization…

In this paper, we build tests for the presence of residual noise in a model where the market microstructure noise is a known parametric function of some variables from the limit order book. The tests compare two distinct quasi-maximum…

In this article, we identify the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a random field solution for some linear s.p.d.e.'s of parabolic and hyperbolic type. These equations rely on a spatial operator $\cL$ given by the…

This paper is mainly concerned with a kind of fractional stochastic evolution equations driven by L\'evy noise in a bounded domain. We first state the well-posedness of the problem via iterative approximations and energy estimates. Then,…

In this article we give sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of a weak and mild solution to stochastic evolution equations with (general) L\'{e}vy noise taking values in the dual of a nuclear space. As part of our approach…

We investigate the stationary diffusion equation with a coefficient given by a (transformed) L\'evy random field. L\'evy random fields are constructed by smoothing L\'evy noise fields with kernels from the Mat\'ern class. We show that…

We consider the passage time problem for L\'evy processes, emphasising heavy tailed cases. Results are obtained under quite mild assumptions, namely, drift to $-\infty$ a.s. of the process, possibly at a linear rate (the finite mean case),…
