It is known that Heston's stochastic volatility model exhibits moment explosion, and that the critical moment s+ can be obtained by solving (numerically) a simple equation. This yields a leading-order expansion for the implied volatility at large strikes: σBS(k, T)2T ∼ Ψ(s+ - 1) × k (Roger...

Starting from a no-dynamic-arbitrage principle that imposes that trading costs should be non-negative on average and a simple model for the evolution of market prices, we demonstrate a relationship between the shape of the market impact function describing the average response of the market...
