Our cosmology contains Big Bang relic fluctuations by a loss of time-translation symmetry on a Hubble time scale. The contribution to the vacuum is identified with dynamical dark energy $\Lambda\simeq \alpha_p\Lambda_0$ by an IR coupling…
We investigate an extension of $\Lambda$CDM in which a fraction of cold Dark Matter (DM) decays into invisible dark radiation (DR) around the radiation-matter equality epoch, together with a non-standard dark energy (DE) equation of state…
One of the most pressing problems in current cosmology is the cause of the Hubble tension. We revisit a two-rung distance ladder, composed only of Cepheid periods and magnitudes, anchor distances in the Milky Way, Large Magellanic Cloud,…
The standard $\Lambda{\rm CDM}$ model has encountered serious challenges and the $H_0$ tension has become more significant with increasingly precise cosmological observation. Meanwhile, inconsistencies in measurements of the curvature…
The standard cosmological model, the $\Lambda$CDM model, is the most suitable description for our universe. This framework can explain the accelerated expansion phase of the universe but still is not immune to open problems when it comes to…
Given the tension between the values of the Hubble parameter $H_0$ inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and from supernovae, attention is turning to time delays of strongly lensed quasars. Current time-delay measurements…
The disagreement between direct late-time measurements of the Hubble constant from the SH0ES collaboration, and early-universe measurements based on the $\Lambda$CDM model from the Planck collaboration might, at least in principle, be…
The considerable difference between early and late universe measurements of the Hubble constant, called the Hubble tension, poses a potential challenge to the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model. We examine an interacting dark…
The Hubble tension refers to the discrepancy in the value of the Hubble constant $H_0$ inferred from the cosmic microwave background observations, assuming the concordance $\Lambda$CDM model of the Universe, and that from the distance…
We analyze the properties that any late-time modification of the $\Lambda$CDM expansion history must have in order to consistently solve both the $H_0$ and the $\sigma_8$ tensions. Taking a model-independent approach, we obtain a set of…
An intriguing discrepancy emerging in the concordance model of cosmology is the tension between the locally measured value of the Hubble rate, and the 'global' value inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This could be due to…
This study explored the behavior of the $f(T, \mathcal{T})$ cosmological model with the use of various data set combinations. We also compared the results for this model between the Pantheon+ (without SH0ES) and the Pantheon+\&SH0ES (with…
The tension between the value of the Hubble constant $H_0$ determined from local supernovae data and the one inferred from the cosmic microwave background based on the $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model may indicate the need for new physics.…
Multiply imaged time-variable sources can be used to measure absolute distances as a function of redshifts and thus determine cosmological parameters, chiefly the Hubble Constant H$_0$. In the two decades up to 2020, through a number of…
We investigate whether the $4.4\sigma$ tension on $H_0$ between SH$_{0}$ES 2019 and Planck 2018 can be alleviated by a variation of Newton's constant $G_N$ between the early and the late Universe. This changes the Hubble rate before…
Scale-dependence is a common feature to all effective models of quantum gravity. In this paper, a cosmological model based on the scale-dependent scenario of gravity is presented. It is argued that such models, where the scale-dependence…
Hubble tension can be alleviated by altering either early- or late-time $\Lambda$CDM. With only one of these effects introduced, early dark energy remains the only solution capable of reducing the tension to the $3\sigma$ level or below. In…
The local measurement of $H_0$ is in tension with the prediction of $\Lambda$CDM model based on the Planck data. This tension may imply that dark energy is strengthened in the late-time Universe. We employ the latest cosmological…
We present a measurement of the Hubble constant ($H_{0}$) and other cosmological parameters from a joint analysis of six gravitationally lensed quasars with measured time delays. All lenses except the first are analyzed blindly with respect…
The Hubble tension is one of the most exciting problems that Cosmology faces today. A lot of possible solutions for it have already been proposed in the last few years, with a lot of them using a lot of new and exotic physics ideas to deal…
