Several experiments reported hints for the violation of lepton flavor or lepton flavor universality in processes involving muons. Most prominently, there is the hint for a nonzero rate of the flavor violating Higgs decay h → τμ at the LHC, as well as the hint for lepton flavor universality violation in rare B meson decays at the LHCb. In addition, also the long-standing discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon motivates new physics connected to muons. A symmetry which violates lepton flavor universality is L μ − L τ : the difference of muon number and tau number. We show that adding vectorlike fermions to a L μ − L τ theory generates naturally an effect in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and h → τμ , while effects in other τ → μ transitions are systematically suppressed by symmetry arguments. We find that if L μ − L τ is gauged it is possible to also accommodate the discrepant b → s μμ data while predicting a τ → 3 μ and a modified h → μμ rate within reach of upcoming experiments.
