Abstract

The H0H_0-tension problem poses a confrontation of dark energy driving late-time cosmological expansion measured by the Hubble parameter H(z)H(z) over an extended range of redshifts zz. Distinct values H073H_0\simeq 73 km\,s1^{-1}Mpc1^{-1} and H068H_0\simeq 68 km\,s1^{-1}Mpc1^{-1} obtain from surveys of the Local Universe and, respectively, Λ\LambdaCBM analysis of the CMB. These are representative of accelerated expansion with H(0)0H^\prime(0)\simeq0 by Λ=ω02\Lambda=\omega_0^2 and, respectively, H(0)>0H^\prime(0)>0 in Λ\LambdaCDM, where ω0=1qH\omega_0=\sqrt{1-q}H is a fundamental frequency of the cosmological horizon in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with deceleration parameter q(z)=1+(1+z)H1H(z)q(z)=-1+(1+z)H^{-1}H^\prime(z). Explicit solutions H(z)=H01+ωm(6z+12z2+12z3+6z4+(6/5)z5)H(z)=H_0\sqrt{1+\omega_m(6z+12z^2+12z^3+6z^4+(6/5)z^5)} and, respectively, H(z)=H01ωm+ωm(1+z)3H(z)=H_0\sqrt{1-\omega_m+\omega_m(1+z)^3} are here compared with recent data on H(z)H(z) over 0z20\lesssim z \lesssim2. The first is found to be free of tension with H0H_0 from local surveys, while the latter is disfavored at 2.7σ2.7\sigma. A further confrontation obtains in galaxy dynamics by a finite sensitivity of inertia to background cosmology in weak gravity, putting an upper bound of m1030m\lesssim 10^{-30}eV on the mass of dark matter. A C0C^0 onset to weak gravity at the de Sitter scale of acceleration adS=cH(z)a_{dS}=cH(z), where cc denotes the velocity of light, can be seen in galaxy rotation curves covering 0z20\lesssim z \lesssim 2. Weak gravity in galaxy dynamics hereby provides a proxy for cosmological evolution.
