Abstract

We investigate the Hubble tension in the non-flat Super-ΛCDM\Lambda {\rm CDM} model. The non-flat Super-ΛCDM\Lambda {\rm CDM} model extends the Super-ΛCDM\Lambda {\rm CDM} model by including the spatial curvature as a free parameter. The Super-ΛCDM\Lambda {\rm CDM} model extends the standard ΛCDM\Lambda {\rm CDM} model of cosmology through additional parameters accounting for the possible effect of a trispectrum in the primordial fluctuations. In the cosmic microwave background data, this effect can be parameterized using parameters that change the observed angular power spectrum from the theoretical power spectrum due to a trispectrum that couples long and short wavelength modes. In this work, we perform Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) data analysis on the recent Planck 2018 temperature and polarization fluctuations data and the local Hubble constant measurements from supernovae data assuming a non-flat Super-ΛCDM\Lambda {\rm CDM} model. We find that there is a preference for non-zero values of the spatial curvature parameter Ωk\Omega_k and the Super-ΛCDM\Lambda {\rm CDM} parameter A0A_0 at a level of Δχ2\Delta \chi^2 improvement of approximately 23.
