Abstract

We briefly review several activities at Mainz related to hadronic light-by-light scattering (HLbL) using lattice QCD. First we present a position-space approach to the HLbL contribution in the muon g-2, where we focus on exploratory studies of the pion-pole contribution in a simple model and the lepton loop in QED in the continuum and in infinite volume. The second part describes a lattice calculation of the double-virtual pion transition form factor F\_pi^0 gamma^* gamma^*(q\_1^2, q\_2^2) in the spacelike region with photon virtualities up to 1.5 GeV^2 which paves the way for a lattice calculation of the pion-pole contribution to HLbL. The third topic involves HLbL forward scattering amplitudes calculated in lattice QCD which can be described, using dispersion relations (HLbL sum rules), by gamma^* gamma^* -> hadrons fusion cross sections and then compared with phenomenological models.
