We revisit small-noise expansions in the spirit of Benarous, Baudoin-Ouyang, Deuschel-Friz-Jacquier-Violante for bivariate diffusions driven by fractional Brownian motions with different Hurst exponents. A particular focus is devoted to rough stochastic volatility models which have recently attracted considerable attention.
We derive suitable expansions (small-time, energy, tails) in these fractional stochastic volatility models and infer corresponding expansions for implied volatility. This sheds light (i) on the influence of the Hurst parameter in the time-decay of the smile and (ii) on the asymptotic behaviour of the tail of the smile, including higher orders.
