A phenomenological estimate of isospin breaking in hadronic vacuum polarization
abstract
Puzzles in the determination of the hadronic-vacuum-polarization contribution currently impede a conclusive interpretation of the precision measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon at the Fermilab experiment. One such puzzle concerns tensions between evaluations in lattice QCD and using $e^+e^-\to\text{hadrons}$ cross-section data. In lattice QCD, the dominant isospin-symmetric part and isospin-breaking (IB) corrections are calculated separately, with very different systematic effects. Identifying these two pieces in a data-driven approach provides an opportunity to compare them individually and trace back the source of the discrepancy. Here, we estimate the IB component of the lattice-QCD calculations from phenomenology, based on a comprehensive study of exclusive contributions that can be enhanced via infrared singularities, threshold effects, or hadronic resonances, including, for the first time, in the $e^+e^-\to3\pi$ channel. We observe sizable cancellations among different channels, with a sum that even suggests a slightly larger result for the QED correction than obtained in lattice QCD. We conclude that the tensions between lattice QCD and $e^+e^-$ data therefore cannot be explained by the IB contributions in the lattice-QCD calculations.

Pion $\beta$ decay and $\tau\to\pi\pi\nu_\tau$ beyond leading logarithms
Pion β decay and τ→ππν short-distance radiative corrections are matched at NLL accuracy with evanescent-scheme dependence cancelled, giving Δ_RC^{πℓ}=0.03403(11) and a τ-HVP isospin-breaking shift of −0.07(4)×10^-10.

Isospin-breaking effects in inclusive hadronic $\tau$ data for the muon $(g-2)$ from first principles
A lattice QCD+QED strategy is outlined for calculating isospin-breaking effects in inclusive tau decays to support high-precision HVP contributions to muon g-2.

Comparison of the hadronic vacuum polarization between hadronic $\tau$-decay data and lattice QCD
Isospin-corrected inclusive τ spectral functions yield light-quark-connected HVP and window quantities consistent with lattice QCD, but the 2π⁻π⁺π⁰ mode differs significantly from e⁺e⁻-based Pais expectations.

Field-theoretic versus data-driven evaluations of electromagnetic corrections to hadronic vacuum polarization in $(g-2)_\mu$
Virtual electromagnetic corrections largely cancel radiative-channel contributions in data-driven HVP evaluations for muon g-2, reconciling timelike and spacelike methods via a VMD model.

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the Standard Model: an update
The updated SM prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment is 116592033(62)×10^{-11}, showing no tension with the experimental average of 38(63)×10^{-11}.

Comparison of the hadronic vacuum polarization between hadronic $\tau$-decay data and lattice QCD
Lattice QCD and tau-decay dispersive calculations of isospin-one HVP generally agree, except for a significant difference in the 2π−π+π0 four-pion mode contribution to window quantities.

Study of electron-positron annihilation into four pions within chiral effective field theory in the low energy region
