Researchers have developed a geometric framework to analyze no-arbitrage constraints within the latent space of generative models used for implied volatility surfaces. This approach assigns a margin to each latent code, defining an admissible latent set where generated surfaces satisfy financial no-arbitrage conditions. The study establishes conditions for code stability and characterizes the boundary of the admissible set, which can be directed towards zero-margin surfaces via a level-set equation. This methodology is applicable to various generative model architectures, including Variational Autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks, and has been numerically tested on analytic examples and Heston surfaces.
