The hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contributions to the muon $g$$-$$2$ are the crucial quantity to resolve whether new physics is present or not in the comparison between the Standard Model (SM) prediction and experimental measurements at Fermilab. They are commonly and historically determined via dispersion relations using a vast catalogue of experimentally measured, low-energy $e^+e^-\to \,\rm{hadrons}$ cross section data as input. These dispersive estimates result in a SM prediction that exhibits a muon $g$$-$$2$ discrepancy of more than $5\sigma$ when compared to experiment. However, recent lattice QCD evaluations of the HVP and a new hadronic cross section measurement from the CMD-3 experiment favor a no-new-physics scenario and, therefore, exhibit a common tension with the previous $e^+e^-\to \,\rm{hadrons}$ data. This study explores the current and future implications of these two scenarios on other observables that are also sensitive to the HVP contributions in the hope that they may provide independent tests of the current tensions observed in the muon $g$$-$$2$.

  1. Higher-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon $g-2$ from lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2026-03 conditional novelty 9.0

    Lattice QCD yields the NLO HVP contribution to muon g-2 as -101.57(26)stat(54)syst ×10^{-11}, 1.4σ below the 2025 White Paper estimate and twice as precise.

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Lattice QCD gives a_μ^{hvp,nlo} = (-101.57 ± 0.60) × 10^{-11} at 0.6% precision, 1.4σ below the 2025 White Paper estimate and in 4.6σ tension with pre-CMD-3 data-driven results.

  3. Light new physics and the $\tau$ lepton dipole moments: prospects at Belle II

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Light new particles generate asymmetries in e+e- to tau+tau- that allow model-dependent constraints on tau dipole moments, including non-zero effects without electron polarization via imaginary parts.

  4. The running of the electroweak gauge couplings from first principles

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A rescaled difference a_μ-e of lepton g-2 values cancels short-distance effects and cuts hadronic vacuum polarization uncertainty by ~85%, offering a cleaner probe for sub-GeV new physics.

  6. Muon $g$$-$2: correlation-induced uncertainties in precision data combinations

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A general framework quantifies correlation-induced uncertainties in precision data combinations and applies it to e+e- to hadrons cross sections for muon g-2 HVP determinations.

  7. Light new physics and the $\tau$ lepton dipole moments

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

  8. Four-fermion operators, $Z$-boson exchange, and $\tau$ lepton dipole moments

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Z-boson exchange contributes ~3e-6 to the relevant asymmetries while four-fermion operators can reach ~1e-5 times Wilson coefficients, with loop insertions offering an additional path to a_tau without beam polarization.
