Abstract: We characterize the behaviour of the Rough Heston model introduced by Jaisson&Rosenbaum cite{JR16} in the small-time, large-time and alphao1/2 (i.e. Ho0) limits. We show that the short-maturity smile scales in qualitatively the same way as a general rough stochastic volatility model (cf. cite{FZ17}, cite{FGP18a} et al.), and the rate function is equal to the Fenchel-Legendre transform of a simple transformation of the solution to the same Volterra integral equation (VIE) that appears in cite{ER19}, but with the drift and mean reversion terms removed. The solution to this VIE satisfies a space-time scaling property which means we only need to solve this equation for the moment values of p=1 and p=−1 so the rate function can be efficiently computed using an Adams scheme or a power series, and we compute a power series in the log-moneyness variable for the asymptotic implied volatility which yields tractable expressions for the implied vol skew and convexity. The limiting asymptotic smile in the large-maturity regime is obtained via a stability analysis of the fixed points of the VIE, and is the same as for the standard Heston model in cite{FJ11}. Finally, using L'{e}vy's convergence theorem, we show that the log stock price Xt tends weakly to a non-symmetric random variable Xt(1/2) as alphao1/2 (i.e. Ho0) whose mgf is also the solution to the Rough Heston VIE with alpha=1/2, and we show that Xt(1/2)/sqrtt tends weakly to a non-symmetric random variable as to0, which leads to a non-flat non-symmetric asymptotic smile in the Edgeworth regime. We also show that the third moment of the log stock price tends to a finite constant as Ho0 (in contrast to the Rough Bergomi model discussed in cite{FFGS20} where the skew flattens or blows up) and the V process converges on pathspace to a random tempered distribution.
