We consider stochastic control systems affected by a fast mean reverting volatility driven by a pure jump Lévy process. Motivated by a large literature on financial models, we assume that evolves at a faster time scale than the assets, and we study the asymptotics as . This is a singular perturbation problem that we study mostly by PDE methods within the theory of viscosity solutions.
