The current $3.5sigma$ discrepancy between experimental and Standard Model determinations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $a_mu=(g-2)/2$ can only be extended to the discovery $5sigma$ regime through a reduction of both experimental and theoretical uncertainties. On the theory side, this means a determination of the hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) contribution to better than 0.5%, a level of precision that demands the inclusion of QCD + QED effects to properly understand how the behaviour of quarks are modified when their electric charges are turned on. The QCDSF collaboration has generated an ensemble of configurations with dynamical QCD and QED fields with the specific aim of studying flavour breaking effects arising from differences in the quark masses and charges in physical quantities. Here we study these effects in a calculation of HVP around the SU(3) symmetric point. Furthermore, by performing partially-quenched simulations we are able to cover a larger range of quark masses and charges on these configurations and then fit the results to an SU(3) flavour breaking expansion. Subsequently, this allows for an extrapolation to the physical point.

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, a_mu, has been measured with an overall precision of 540 ppb by the E821 experiment at BNL. Since the publication of this result in 2004 there has been a persistent tension of 3.5 standard deviations with th
e theoretical prediction of a_mu based on the Standard Model. The uncertainty of the latter is dominated by the effects of the strong interaction, notably the hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) and the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) scattering contributions, which are commonly evaluated using a data-driven approach and hadronic models, respectively. Given that the discrepancy between theory and experiment is currently one of the most intriguing hints for a possible failure of the Standard Model, it is of paramount importance to determine both the HVP and HLbL contributions from first principles. In this review we present the status of lattice QCD calculations of the leading-order HVP and the HLbL scattering contributions, a_mu^hvp and a_mu^hlbl. After describing the formalism to express a_mu^hvp and a_mu^hlbl in terms of Euclidean correlation functions that can be computed on the lattice, we focus on the systematic effects that must be controlled to achieve a first-principles determination of the dominant strong interaction contributions to a_mu with the desired level of precision. We also present an overview of current lattice QCD results for a_mu^hvp and a_mu^hlbl, as well as related quantities such as the transition form factor for pi0 -> gamma*gamma*. While the total error of current lattice QCD estimates of a_mu^hvp has reached the few-percent level, it must be further reduced by a factor 5 to be competitive with the data-driven dispersive approach. At the same time, there has been good progress towards the determination of a_mu^hlbl with an uncertainty at the 10-15%-level.
After a brief self-contained introduction to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, (g-2), we review the status of lattice calculations of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution and present first results from lattice QCD for the hadronic light-by
-light scattering contribution. The signal for the latter is consistent with model calculations. While encouraging, the statistical error is large and systematic errors are mostly uncontrolled. The method is applied first to pure QED as a check.
In our previous work, the connected and leading disconnected hadronic light-by-light contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g - 2) have been computed using lattice QCD ensembles corresponding to physical pion mass generated by the RBC/U
KQCD collaboration. However, the calculation is expected to suffer from a significant finite volume error that scales like $1/L^2$ where $L$ is the spatial size of the lattice. In this paper, we demonstrate that this problem is cured by treating the muon and photons in infinite volume, continuum QED, resulting in a weighting function that is pre-computed and saved with affordable cost and sufficient accuracy. We present numerical results for the case when the quark loop is replaced by a muon loop, finding the expected exponential approach to the infinite volume limit and consistency with the known analytic result. We have implemented an improved weighting function which reduces both discretization and finite volume effects arising from the hadronic part of the amplitude.
We compute the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon a_mu^HLO using two dynamical flavours of non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. By applying partially twisted boundary conditions we are able to impr
ove the momentum resolution of the vacuum polarisation, an important ingredient for the determination of the leading hadronic contribution. We check systematic uncertainties by studying several ensembles, which allows us to discuss finite size effects and lattice artefacts. The chiral behavior of a_mu^HLO turns out to be non-trivial, especially for small pion masses.
We report preliminary results for the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Several ensembles using 2+1 flavors of Mobius domain-wall fermions, generated by the RBC/UKQCD collaborations, are employed t
o take the continuum and infinite volume limits of finite volume lattice QED+QCD. We find $a_mu^{rm HLbL} = (7.41pm6.33)times 10^{-10}$
