Duality and Symmetry with Time-Changed Lévy Processes*
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we review several relationships between prices of put and call options, of both the European and the American type, obtained mainly through Girsanov Theorem, when the asset price is driven by a time-changed Lévy process. This relation is called put-call duality, and includes the relation known as put-call symmetry as a particular case. Necessary and sufficient conditions for put-call symmetry to hold are shown in terms of the triplet of local characteristic of the time-changed Lévy process. This way we extend the results obtained by Fajardo and Mordecki (2006b).

Duality and Derivative Pricing with Lévy Processes
The aim of this work is to use a duality approach to study the pricing of derivatives depending on two stocks driven by a bidimensional Lévy process. The main idea is to apply Girsanov’s Theorem for Lévy processes, in order to reduce the posed problem to the pricing of a one Lévy driven stock in an auxiliary market, baptized as “dual market”. In this way, we extend the results obtained by Gerbe...
متن کاملCorrelation Structure of Time-Changed Lévy Processes
Time-changed Lévy processes include the fractional Poisson process, and the scaling limit of a continuous time random walk. They are obtained by replacing the deterministic time variable by a positive non-decreasing random process. The use of time-changed processes in modeling often requires the knowledge of their second order properties such as the correlation function. This paper provides the...
متن کاملSymmetry and Duality in Lévy Markets∗
The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of symmetry in a Lévy market. This notion appears as a particular case of a general known relation between prices of put and call options, of both the European and the American type, that is also reviewed in the paper, and that we call put-call duality. Symmetric Lévy markets have the distinctive feature of producing symmetric smile curves, in th...
متن کاملSymmetries in Lévy Term Structure Models
Symmetry results between call and put options have been widely studied in equity markets. We provide similar symmetry results between caps and floors in a Heath–Jarrow–Morton, a LIBOR and a forward price model, driven by time-inhomogeneous Lévy processes. On the way, we review the basic properties of these models.
متن کاملSome applications of duality for Lévy processes in a half-line
The central result of this paper is an analytic duality relation for real-valued Lévy processes killed upon exiting a half-line. By Nagasawa’s theorem, this yields a remarkable time-reversal identity involving the Lévy process conditioned to stay positive. As examples of applications, we construct a version of the Lévy process indexed by the entire real line and started from −∞ which enjoys a n...
