Gaussian caplet bond-put formula
ID: gaussian-caplet-bond-put-formula
For a Gaussian forward-rate field with deterministic volatility, put , , and . Under the T-forward measure, is lognormal with that integrated variance. With and , the displayed expression is the caplet price. At use the discounted intrinsic bond-put value. Gaussian instantaneous rates do not make the reset floating rate Gaussian; the exponential bond relation is what yields this bond-option formula.
