Abstract
A calculation of the contribution of the weak interactions to the magnetic moments of the leptons is reported. An intermediate vector boson is assumed, and lowest order effects are calculated. The radiative corrections to these results are estimated by making use of the summation technique introduced by Lee. The contributions are small compared to the uncertainties in the experimental values of the magnetic moments. For the muon the changes in the magnetic moment are at least an order of magnitude smaller than the contributions of the strong interactions. If the muon's neutrino has a relatively large mass, its induced magnetic moment will affect the neutrino scattering cross sections calculated by Bernstein and Lee.
