Title
VIX Options and Rough Volatility
Abstract
After a gentle introduction to VIX and rough volatility models, we provide explicit small-time formulae for the at-the-money implied volatility, skew, and curvature in a large class of models. Our general setup encompasses both European options on a stock and VIX options, thereby providing new insights on their joint calibration. This framework also allows us to consider rough volatility models and their multi-factor versions; in particular, we develop a detailed analysis of the two-factor rough Bergomi model. This is joint work with A. Jacquier and A. Muguruza.
