We establish a uniform comparison between the spectrum of the rough Laplacian (acting on sections of a vector bundle of complex rank one or of harmonic curvature) with the spectrum of a discrete operator (a generalization of a discrete magnetic Laplacian added with a potential) acting on a finite dimensional space comi…
We consider rough metrics on smooth manifolds and corresponding Laplacians induced by such metrics. We demonstrate that globally continuous heat kernels exist and are Hölder continuous locally in space and time. This is done via local parabolic Harnack estimates for weak solutions of operators in divergence form with b…
More than forty years ago J. H. Samson has defined the Laplacian Δsym acting on the space of symmetric covariant p-tensors on an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold (M,g). This operator is an analogue of the well known Hodge-de Rham Laplacian Δ which acts on the space of exterior differential p-forms ($1 …
Our topological setting is a smooth compact manifold of dimension two or higher with smooth boundary. Although this underlying topological structure is smooth, the Riemannian metric tensor is only assumed to be bounded and measurable. This is known as a rough Riemannian manifold. For a large class of boundary condition…
We are concerned about the coarse and precise aspects of a priori estimates for Green's function of a regular domain for the Laplacian-Betrami operator on any 3≤n-dimensional complete non-compact boundary-free Riemannian manifold through the square Sobolev/Nash/logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities plus the rough and s…
We present a number of related comparison results, which allow to compare moment explosion times, moment generating functions and critical moments between rough and non-rough Heston models of stochastic volatility. All results are based on a comparison principle for certain non-linear Volterra integral equations. Our u…
A submanifold Mm of a Euclidean space Rm+p is said to have harmonic mean curvature vector field if ΔH=0, where H is the mean curvature vector field of M↪Rm+p and Δ is the rough Laplacian on M. There is a conjecture named after Bangyen Chen which states that submanifolds o…
We introduce a notion of p-rough integrator on any Banach manifolds, for any p≥1, which plays the role of weak geometric Holder p-rough paths in the usual Banach space setting. The awaited results on rough differential equations driven by such objects are proved, and a canonical representation is given if the man…

Rough volatility models are known to reproduce the behavior of historical volatility data while at the same time fitting the volatility surface remarkably well, with very few parameters. However, managing the risks of derivatives under rough volatility can be intricate since the dynamics involve fractional Brownian mot…
