abstract
The leading electromagnetic (e.m.) and strong isospin-breaking corrections to the $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu[\gamma]$ and $K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu[\gamma]$ leptonic decay rates are evaluated for the first time on the lattice. The results are obtained using gauge ensembles produced by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration with $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ dynamical quarks. The relative leading-order e.m.~and strong isospin-breaking corrections to the decay rates are 1.53(19)\% for $\pi_{\mu 2}$ decays and 0.24(10)\% for $K_{\mu 2}$ decays. Using the experimental values of the $\pi_{\mu 2}$ and $K_{\mu 2}$ decay rates and updated lattice QCD results for the pion and kaon decay constants in isosymmetric QCD, we find that the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $ | V_{us}| = 0.22538(46)$, reducing by a factor of about $1.8$ the corresponding uncertainty in the Particle Data Group review. Our calculation of $|V_{us}|$ allows also an accurate determination of the first-row CKM unitarity relation $| V_{ud}|^2 + | V_{us}|^2 + | V_{ub}|^2 = 0.99988(46)$. Theoretical developments in this paper include a detailed discussion of how QCD can be defined in the full QCD+QED theory and an improved renormalisation procedure in which the bare lattice operators are renormalised non-perturbatively into the (modified) Regularization Independent Momentum subtraction scheme and subsequently matched perturbatively at $O(\alpha_{em}\alpha_s(M_W))$ into the W-regularisation scheme appropriate for these calculations.

First Lattice QCD Determination of Lepton-Flavor-Universality Ratios in Light-Meson Leptonic Decays
A first-principles lattice QCD+QED calculation determines the structure-dependent radiative correction and yields the most precise Standard-Model predictions for R_{e/μ} in pion and kaon leptonic decays.

Perturbative quantum electrodynamics with generalized domain wall fermions
For generalized domain-wall fermions, the O(e^2) electromagnetic expansion requires new local seagull and anti-quark contact vertices, derived here for the first time.

Challenging Majorana neutrino effects in $B\to K^{(\ast)}\nu\nu$ and $K\to \pi\nu\nu$ decays
Belle-II's B→Kνν excess cannot be explained by dimension-7 lepton-number-violating SMEFT operators without fine-tuning neutrino masses, while a light sterile-neutrino extension can, with testable decay spectra.

BMW/DMZ calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarisation for the muon magnetic moment
A hybrid lattice-QCD plus e+e- data determination of the hadronic vacuum polarisation gives a Standard Model muon g-2 prediction 0.5σ from experiment, at 0.45% precision.

Measurement of B meson production fraction ratios in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV using open-charm and charmonium decays
Production fraction ratios of B+, B0, and B0_s mesons at 13 TeV are measured with open-charm and charmonium decays, providing absolute normalizations and confirming isospin symmetry.

Flavor constraints from $pp\to Vh$ and $pp\to VW$ at the LHC
LHC data on pp→Vh and pp→VW yield general-flavor SMEFT constraints that will become competitive with flavor tests of the Cabibbo-angle anomaly at the HL-LHC.

Checks on QED and strong-isospin breaking corrections to $a_{\mu}^{\mathrm{HVP}}$
New cross-checks using exact derivatives, low-mode averaging, and finer ensembles confirm the earlier BMW QED and strong-isospin breaking corrections to a_mu^HVP.
