Resumen:

In this paper we compute analytically the at-the-money second derivative of the implied volatility curve as a function of the strike price, for correlated stochastic volatility models. We obtain an expression for the short-time limit of this second derivative in terms of the first and second Malliavin derivatives of the volatility process and the correlation parameter.
