As an application, the coefficient of the leading logarithm arising from the two-loop graphs involving two anomalous vertices is computed, and found to be positive. This corresponds to a positive sign for the pion-pole contribution to the hadronic light-by-light correction to a_{mu}, and to a sizeable reduction of the discrepancy between the present experimental value of a_{mu} and its theoretical counterpart in the standard model.4 pages, 1 figure. v2: published versionHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentHadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon g-2: an effective field theory approachtext
