Time-kernel for lattice determinations of NLO hadronic vacuum polarization contributions to the muon g-2

Abstract

We study the time-momentum representation of the kernel needed to compute the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g-2 in the space-like region at next-to-leading order. For small values of the time, we present analytical series expansions; for large values of the time, we present numerical series expansions which overcome the problems showed by naïve asymptotic expansions. These results are to be employed in lattice QCD determination of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g-2 at next-to-leading order.
