The short-distance behaviour of the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) contribution to $(g-2)_{mu}$ has recently been studied by means of an operator product expansion in a background electromagnetic field. The leading term in this expansion has been shown to be given by the massless quark loop, and the non-perturbative corrections are numerically very suppressed. Here, we calculate the perturbative QCD correction to the massless quark loop. The correction is found to be fairly small compared to the quark loop as far as we study energy scales where the perturbative running for the QCD coupling is well-defined, i.e.~for scales $mugtrsim 1, mathrm{GeV}$. This should allow to reduce the large systematic uncertainty associated to high-multiplicity hadronic states.

The recent experimental measurement of the muon $g-2$ at Fermilab National Laboratory, at a $4.2sigma$ tension with the Standard Model prediction, highlights the need for further improvements on the theoretical uncertainties associated to the hadronic sector. In the framework of the operator product expansion in the presence of a background field, the short-distance behaviour of the hadronic light-by-light contribution was recently studied. The leading term in this expansion is given by the massless quark-loop, which is numerically dominant compared to non-perturbative corrections. Here, we present the perturbative QCD correction to the massless quark-loop and estimate its size numerically. In particular, we find that for scales above 1 GeV it is relatively small, in general roughly $-10%$ the size of the massless quark-loop. The knowledge of these short-distance constraints will in the future allow to reduce the systematic uncertainties in the Standard Model prediction of the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the $g-2$.
The current $3.7sigma$ discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and the experimental value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment could be a hint for the existence of new physics. The hadronic light-by-light contribution is one of the pieces requiring improved precision on the theory side, and an important step is to derive short-distance constraints for this quantity containing four electromagnetic currents. Here, we derive such short-distance constraints for three large photon loop virtualities and the external fourth photon in the static limit. The static photon is considered as a background field and we construct a systematic operator product expansion in the presence of this field. We show that the massless quark loop, i.e. the leading term, is numerically dominant over non-perturbative contributions up to next-to-next-to leading order, both those suppressed by quark masses and those that are not.
Two-loop self-energy corrections to the bound-electron $g$ factor are investigated theoretically to all orders in the nuclear binding strength parameter $Zalpha$. The separation of divergences is performed by dimensional regularization, and the contributing diagrams are regrouped into specific categories to yield finite results. We evaluate numerically the loop-after-loop terms, and the remaining diagrams by treating the Coulomb interaction in the electron propagators up to first order. The results show that such two-loop terms are mandatory to take into account for projected near-future stringent tests of quantum electrodynamics and for the determination of fundamental constants through the $g$ factor.
Two-loop electroweak corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment are automatically calculated by using GRACE-FORM system, as a trial to extend our system for two-loop calculation. We adopt the non-linear gauge (NLG) to check the reliability of our calculation. In total 1780 two-loop diagrams consisting of 14 different topological types and 70 one-loop diagrams composed of counter terms are calculated. We check UV- and IR-divergences cancellation and the independence of the results from NLG parameters. As for the numerical calculation, we adopt trapezoidal rule with Double Exponential method (DE). Linear extrapolation method (LE) is introduced to regularize UV- and IR- divergence and to get finite values.
Numerical calculation of two-loop electroweak corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment ($g$-2) is done based on, on shell renormalization scheme (OS) and free quark model (FQM). The GRACE-FORM system is used to generate Feynman diagrams and corresponding amplitudes. Total 1780 two-loop diagrams and 70 one-loop diagrams composed of counter terms are calculated to get the renormalized quantity. As for the numerical calculation, we adopt trapezoidal rule with Double Exponential method (DE). Linear extrapolation method (LE) is introduced to regularize UV- and IR-divergences and to get finite values. The reliability of our result is guaranteed by several conditions. The sum of one and two loop electroweak corrections in this renormalization scheme becomes $a_mu^{EW:OS}[1{rm+}2{rm -loop}]= 151.2 (pm 1.0)times 10^{-11}$, where the error is due to the numerical integration and the uncertainty of input mass parameters and of the hadronic corrections to electroweak loops. By taking the hadronic corrections into account, we get $a_mu^{EW}[1{rm+}2 {rm -loop}]= 152.9 (pm 1.0)times 10^{-11}$. It is in agreement with the previous works given in PDG within errors.
