One-Loop Electroweak Corrections to the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment Using the Pinch Technique

Abstract

The definition of the physical properties of particles in perturbative gauge theories must satisfy gauge invariance as a requisite. The Pinch Technique provides a framework to define the electromagnetic form factors and the electromagnetic static properties of fundamental particles in a consistent and gauge-invariant form. We apply a simple prescription derived in this formalism to check the calculation of the gauge-invariant one-loop bosonic electroweak corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
