Peter Carr and Andrey Itkin apply a Markovian approximation of the fractional Brownian motion, known as the Dobrić-Ojeda process, to the fractional stochastic volatility model, where the instantaneous variance is modelled using a lognormal process with drift and fractional diffusion

Gatheral et al (2014) discovered that historical volatility time series exhibit behaviour that is much rougher than that of a Brownian motion for a wide range of assets. These authors
