By Gyongy's theorem, a local and stochastic volatility (LSV) model is calibrated to the market prices of all European call options with positive maturities and strikes if its local volatility function is equal to the ratio of the Dupire…

We prove strong existence and uniqueness, and H\"older regularity, of a large class of stochastic Volterra equations, with singular kernels and non-Lipschitz diffusion coefficient. Extending Yamada-Watanabe's theorem, our proof relies on an…
We establish new weak existence results for $d$-dimensional Stochastic Volterra Equations (SVEs) with continuous coefficients and possibly singular one-dimensional non-convolution kernels. These results are obtained by introducing an…

We propose a new model for the forecasting of both the implied volatility surfaces and the underlying asset price. In the spirit of Guyon and Lekeufack (2023) who are interested in the dependence of volatility indices (e.g. the VIX) on the…
In this paper, we show that a time-dependent local stochastic volatility (SLV) model can be reduced to a system of autonomous PDEs that can be solved using the Heat kernel, by means of the Wei-Norman factorization method and Lie algebraic…
We investigate nonlinear stochastic Volterra equations in space and time that are driven by L\'evy bases. Under a Lipschitz condition on the nonlinear term, we give existence and uniqueness criteria in weighted function spaces that depend…
Classical solvable stochastic volatility models (SVM) use a CEV process for instantaneous variance where the CEV parameter $\gamma$ takes just few values: 0 - the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, 1/2 - the Heston (or square root) process, 1-…
Path-dependence is a defining feature of many real-world systems, with applications ranging from population dynamics to rough volatility models and electricity spot prices. In stochastic Volterra equations (SVEs), such dependence is encoded…
We provide sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of relaxed optimal controls in the weak formulation of stochastic control problems for stochastic Volterra equations (SVEs). Our study can be applied to rough processes that…

This thesis develops a new framework for modelling price processes in finance, such as an equity price or foreign exchange rate. This can be related to the conventional Ito calculus-based framework through the time integral of a price's…
