Some facts
Out-of-the-money (OTM) Calls pays only if the asset pricerises above the Call’s exercise price while OTM Puts payoff only if asset price falls below the Put’s exercise price.
Call and Put prices directly reflects characteristics of theupper and lower tails of the risk neutral distribution.Then relative prices of OTM options will reflect theskewness of the risk neutral distribution.

C(F ,T ; Kc) = (1 + x)P(F ,T ; Kp), x > 0
Where F is the future price;
Kc = F (1 + x) and Kp = F/(1 + x). i.e. KcKp = F 2.

Consider a stochastic process X = Xtt≥0, defined on(Ω,F ,F = (Ft)t≥0,Q). We say that X = Xtt≥0 is a LévyProcess if:
X has paths RCLLX0 = 0, and has independent increments, given0 < t1 < t2 < ... < tn, the r.v.
Xt1 ,Xt2 − Xt1 , · · · ,Xtn − Xtn−1
are independents.The distribution of the increment Xt − Xs is homogenous intime, that is, depends just on the difference t − s.

Corollary (Perpetual Options)
For prices of Perpetual Call and Put options in (5) and (6) the optimalstopping rules have, respectively, the form
τ∗c = inft ≥ 0 : St ≥ S∗c ,
τ∗p = inft ≥ 0 : St ≤ S∗p.
where the constants S∗c and S∗

C(S0,K , r , δ, ψ) = P(K ,S0, δ, r , ψ), (12)

We say that a model is convexity preserving, if for anyconvex contract function, the corresponding price is convexas a function of the price of the underlying asset at alltimes prior to maturity.
There are many examples of models that are not convexitypreserving.General Stochastic Volatility Models.
