Abstract

The observed discrepancy of the Hubble parameter measurements in the local universe with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data may indicate a new physics. It is vital to test the alternative models that reconcile the Hubble tension with other cosmological observations in this direction. The CMB lensing is a crucial observation that relates the early universe perturbations to the matter's late-time distribution. In this work, we study the prediction of the \"uΛ\LambdaCDM as a solution for H0H_0 tension for CMB lensing and the low- and high-\ell's temperature (TT) power spectrum internal inconsistency. We show that this model relaxes the low- and high-\ell's TT mild inconsistency and the CMB lensing tensions simultaneously. Accordingly, \"uΛ\LambdaCDM having the same number of free parameters as Λ\LambdaCDM with lensing amplitude ALA_L added, has a better fit with Δχ2=3.3\Delta \chi^2=-3.3.
