Gravitational corrections to the value of the muon #gminus2 - a quick roundup.

It all started with this paper - arxiv.org/abs/1801.10246 - the 3rd in a trilogy. Claimed that a correction due to Earth's gravity should alleviate tension between theory and experiment: In a blog post - motls.blogspot.nl/2018/02/experi… - @lumidek points out (among other things) that if you're considering corrections due to the gravitational potential, the Sun's potential should dominate, not the Earth's
