摘要（Abstract）：

In this talk, we show a bridge representation for the joint probability density of the lognormal fractional SABR model and a small time expansion of the density. Approximation of implied volatility is readily obtained by applying the Laplace asymptotic formula to the call or put prices then comparing coefficients. As an application, we price a volatility linked derivative: the Target volatility option (TVO) in the fractional SABR model. TVOs are a type of derivative instrument that explicitly depends on the evolution of an underlying asset as well as its realized volatility. We present small volatility of volatility approximations of the TVO price by resorting to chaos expansion as well as the decomposition formula.
