Abstract We perform a numerical computation of the anomalous magnetic moment (g − 2) of the electron in QED by using the stochastic perturbation theory. Formulating QED on the lattice, we develop a method to calculate the coefficients of the perturbative series of g − 2 without the use of the Feynman diagrams. We demonstrate the feasibility of the method by performing a computation up to the α3 order and compare with the known results. This program provides us with a totally independent check of the results obtained by the Feynman diagrams and will be useful for the estimations of not-yet-calculated higher order values. This work provides an example of the application of the numerical stochastic perturbation theory to physical quantities, for which the external states have to be taken on-shell.

This paper presents the current status of the theory of electron anomalous magnetic moment ae ≡(g-2)/2, including a complete evaluation of 12,672 Feynman diagrams in the tenth-order perturbation theory. To solve this problem, we developed a code-generator which converts Feynman diagrams automatically into fully renormalized Feynman-parametric integrals. They are evaluated numerically by an integration routine VEGAS. The preliminary result obtained thus far is 9.16 (58) (α/π)5, where (58) denotes the uncertainty in the last two digits. This leads to ae( theory ) = 1.159 652 181 78 (77) ×10-3, which is in agreement with the latest measurement ae ( exp :2008) = 1.159 652 180 73 (28) ×10-3. It shows that the Feynman–Dyson method of perturbative QED works up to the precision of 10-12.

In the extraction of αs from hadronic τ decay data several moments of the spectral functions have been employed. Furthermore, different renormalization group improvement (RGI) frameworks have been advocated, leading to conflicting values of αs. Recently, we performed a systematic study of the perturbative behavior of these moments in the context of the two main-stream RGI frameworks: Fixed Order Perturbation Theory (FOPT) and Contour Improved Perturbation Theory (CIPT). The yet unknown higher order coefficients of the perturbative series were modelled using the available knowledge of the renormalon singularities of the QCD Adler function. We were able to show that within these RGI frameworks some of the commonly employed moments should be avoided due to their poor perturbative behavior. Furthermore, under reasonable assumptions about the higher order behavior of the perturbative series FOPT provides the preferred RGI framework.

One of the systematic errors in some of the current lattice computations of the HVP contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment g – 2 is that associated with the extrapolation to the physical pion mass. We investigate this extrapolation assuming lattice pion masses in the range of 220 to 440 MeV with the help of two-loop chiral perturbation theory, and find that such an extrapolation is unlikely to lead to control of this systematic error at the 1% level. This remains true even if various proposed tricks to improve the chiral extrapolation are taken into account.

This article deals with the form factor of the anomalous magnetic moment distribution of proton and neutron. It is first shown with three examples that the magnetic root mean square radius cannot be taken from the existing experiments with sufficient accuracy. Satisfactory agreement with the experimental results can be obtained with arbitrary values of rm2. We calculate the magnetic moment form factors depending on the energy momentum transfer q2 in perturbation theory and the 2 π meson contribution to the isotopic vector form factor with dispersion relations also in relation to q2, with and without π meson form factor. We get better agreement of the shape of the form factor with the phenomenological form factor of HOFSTADTER at the expense of the static magnetic moment. But the contribution of the high q2 values is still too large i.e. the structure is somewhat too concentrated **

After giving an overview about regularisation and renormalisation methods, this chapter shows the calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron in QED. Using a power counting argument, non-, super- and renormalisable theories are distinguish from one another. The structure of the divergences and perturbative renormalisation is discussed for the case of the λϕ‎4 theory. regularisation methods, renormalisation schemes, anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, power counting, renormalisation of the λϕ‎4 theory.

The contributions of hadronic effects to muonium physics and the anomalous magnetic moment of muon are considered. Special attention is paid to higher order effects and the uncertainty related to the hadronic contribution to the hyperfine-structure interval in the ground state of muonium.
