Research by Gregory Pelts

Financial definitions.
Stochastic models.

Two connected lines of research: a language for defining financial products through time, and tractable Markov models for rough-volatility behavior.

The research

From contractual meaning
to numerical interpretation.

A product definition establishes its rights and obligations. A model supplies a way to value them. Keeping that relationship explicit makes both easier to examine.

01

Financial language

SHTAR שטר

Symbolic Hierarchical Terms And Rules

A financial product is a chronological system of records and payments. SHTAR defines what was observed, what became payable, what was delivered, and which rights remain.

Stochastic models

Rough diffusion

Tractable Markov processes emulating rough volatility

The research explores additional stochastic clocks within Markov constructions, connecting rough-volatility behavior with simulation, conditional valuation and option calibration.
