I present an update on the electroweak radiative correction factor to semileptonic tau decays, including a next-to-leading order resummation of large logarithms. My result differs both qualitatively and quantitatively from the one recently obtained by Davier et al. As two consequences, (i) the discrepancy between the predictions for the muon g-2 based on tau decay data and electron-positron annihilation data increases, and (ii) the g-2 prediction based on tau decay data appears to be consistent (within about one standard deviation) with the experimental result from BNL.

  1. Axion-like particle-meson production in semileptonic $\tau$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Chiral EFT with meson-ALP mixing yields predictions for branching ratios, invariant-mass distributions, and forward-backward asymmetries in semileptonic tau decays to axion-like particles and mesons.

  2. The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the Standard Model: an update

    hep-ph 2025-05 accept novelty 5.0

    The updated SM prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment is 116592033(62)×10^{-11}, showing no tension with the experimental average of 38(63)×10^{-11}.

  3. Comparison of the hadronic vacuum polarization between hadronic $\tau$-decay data and lattice QCD

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Lattice QCD and tau-decay dispersive calculations of isospin-one HVP generally agree, except for a significant difference in the 2π−π+π0 four-pion mode contribution to window quantities.
