Gamma Hedging without Rough Paths

We show how the robustness of gamma hedging can be understood without using rough-path theory. Instead, we use the concepts of $p^{th}$ variation along a partition sequence and Taylor's theorem directly, rather than defining an integral and proving a version of It\^o's lemma. The same approach allows classical results on delta-hedging to be proved without defining an integral and without the need to define the concept of self-financing in continuous time. We show that the approach can also be applied to barrier options and Asian options
