Coordinate-space calculation of QED corrections to the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to (g − 2)μ with SU(3) flavor symmetry.

Lattice QCD (LQCD) has proven to be an important tool in understanding the tension between the experimental value for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g − 2)μ and its prediction from the standard model. The lattice provides a non-perturbative method for evaluating the hadronic contributions to (g − 2)μ, which contributes the largest amount to the uncertainty of the theoretical prediction. Among these the hadronic vacuum polarization aμHVP is the dominant contribution. In order to match the uncertainty of the experiment, lattice QCD needs to reach sub-percent precision. This requires the calculation of QED corrections to aμHVP, which are represented by additional Feynman diagrams. We present a lattice calculation of the UV-finite (2+2) diagram at the SU(3) flavor symmetric point and compare this to the pseudoscalar meson exchange model with a vector-meson dominance parametrization of the transition form factor.
