Abstract

We consider three-loop corrections to hyperfine splitting in muonium generated by the gauge invariant set of diagrams with a virtual light-by-light scattering block. These diagrams produce both recoil and nonrecoil contributions to hyperfine splitting. Recoil corrections are enhanced by large logarithms of the muon-electron mass ratio. Both nonrecoil and logarithmically enhanced radiative-recoil corrections were calculated some time ago. Here we calculate nonlogarithmic radiative-recoil corrections generated by the insertions of the light-by-light scattering block.
