    The measurement of the muon g-2 presently exhibits a 3.5$\sigma$ discrepancy from the Standard Model prediction. In the next years, it will be measured at Fermilab and J-PARC with even higher precision. Given this experimental effort, it is extremely important to reduce also the error on the theoretical prediction, which is dominated by the uncertainty on the hadronic contribution...
