The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon displays a $4.2\sigma$ tension with the Standard-Model prediction, if $e^+e^-\to \text{hadrons}$ data are used for hadronic vacuum polarization. In these proceedings we review possible explanations…

Dispersion relations---a corollary of unitarity and analyticity---are among the few methods which can be employed to study low energy processes in QCD. In this work we critically revisit the calculation of decay widths of a hypothetical…
We derive a dispersion relation for two-point correlation functions in defect conformal field theories. The correlator is expressed as an integral over a (single) discontinuity that is controlled by the bulk channel operator product…
