Abstract
In industrial applications it is quite common to use stochastic-volatility models driven by semi-martingale Markov volatility processes. However, in order to fit exactly market volatilities, these models are usually extended by adding a local-volatility term. Here, we consider the case of singular Volterra processes, and we extend them by adding a local-volatility term to their Markov lift by preserving the stylized results implied by these models on plain-vanilla options. In particular, we focus on the rough-Heston model, and we analyze the small-time asymptotics of its implied local-volatility function in order to provide a proper extrapolation scheme to be used in calibration.
