Pseudoscalar-exchange contribution to $(g-2)_μ$ from rational approximantsAbstract: We present our recent results on the hadronic light-by-light pseudoscalar-exchange contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using rational approximants. Our work provides a generalization of Pad\'e approximants to the bivariate case to describe the most general doubly-virtual transition form factor, which is required in the calculation. This method provides a powerful tool to systematically implement the known experimental data on transition form factors in the space-like region and low energies in a model-independent way. Given the lack of experimental data on the doubly-virtual transition form factor, we make use of the pseduoscalar decays into lepton pairs. We find an interesting and puzzling situation which calls for new experimental measurements to clarify the present state.
