Reviews
"""Malliavin calculus, alongside Ito calculus, is emerging as a vital tool for researchers in the area of financial engineering. This book provides an unprecedented and balanced account, taking the reader from theoretical foundations to practical applications, including state-of-the-art research topics like rough volatility and VIX option skew."" – Colin Turfus ""This book is a very valuable addition to the existing literature, demonstrating that the cutting-edge research in Mathematical Finance doesn't have to be far from commonly accepted quant practice."" – Vladimir Lucic, Visiting Professor, Dept. of Mathematics, Imperial College London"

Starting with classical questions of non-arbitrage pricing and the Black-Scholes formula, the authors smoothly continue with volatility processes, studying, in particular, implied, spot and local volatilities. Various models with stochastic volatilities are considered, including models based on fractional Brownian motion and rough volatilities. Variance swaps and the VIX, volatility, and other types of swaps are studied. Then the main tools of Malliavin calculus are presented, together with applications of Malliavin calculus to the implied volatility surface and the implied volatility of non-vanilla options. So, the book is very promising for both mathematicians and practitioners and both mathematicians and practitioners will enjoy the beauty of the mathematical description of the world of real finance."" – Yuliya Mishura, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
Author Information
Elisa Alòs holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Barcelona. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and Business at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) and a Barcelona GSE Affiliated Professor. In the last fourteen years, her research focuses on the applications of the Malliavin calculus and the fractional Brownian motion in mathematical finance and volatility modeling. David Garcia Lorite currently works in Caixabank as XVA quantitative analyst and he is doing a Ph.D. at Universidad de Barcelona under the guidance of Elisa Alòs with a focus in Malliavin calculus with application to finance. For the last fourteen years, he has worked in the financial industry in several companies but always working with hybrid derivatives. He has also strong computational skills and he has implemented several quantitative and not quantitative libraries in different languages throughout his career.
