Curvature in the Jump: Geometrizing Financial Lévy Models

Lévy processes — stochastic processes with jumps — are the bedrock of modern financial modeling. From the Variance Gamma model to the CGMY framework, these models have replaced Brownian motion in capturing the reality of financial returns: asymmetry, fat tails, and sudden discontinuities. But what if we told you these processes don’t just live on probability distributions — they live on manifolds? ...
