Abstract:
I will describe recent progress in approaching the calculation of the hadronic light-by-light contribution to $(g-2)_\mu$ with dispersive methods. I will discuss general properties of the four-point function of the electromagnetic current in QCD, its Lorentz decomposition and dispersive representation. New results concerning the contribution of D and higher waves and our first numerical estimates for the pion-box and related rescattering corrections will be presented. I will conclude with an outlook for this approach to the calculation of hadronic light-by-light.
