Peter Friz, Paolo Pigato and Jonathan Seibel propose a modification of a given stochastic volatility model ‘backbone’ capable of producing extreme short-dated implied skews, without adding jumps or non-Markovian ‘rough’ fractional volatility dynamics. A decomposition formula for the implied skew of a local stochastic volatility model suggests this can be achieved via a non-smooth leverage function, such as a step function. The resulting step stochastic volatility
