Abstract

We introduce a new method for calculating the O ( α 3 ) hadronic-vacuum-polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment from ab initio lattice QCD. We first derive expressions suitable for computing the higher-order contributions either from the renormalized vacuum polarization function ^ Π ( q 2 ) or directly from the lattice vector-current correlator in Euclidean space. We then demonstrate the approach using previously published results for the Taylor coefficients of ^ Π ( q 2 ) that were obtained on four-flavor QCD gauge-field configurations with physical light-quark masses. We obtain 10 10 a HVP , HO μ = − 9.3 ( 1.3 ) in agreement with, but with a larger uncertainty than, determinations from e + e − → hadrons data plus dispersion relations.
