We investigate a new possible solution to the Hubble constant tension. we propose a simple resolution to the problem assuming that a first-order phase transition related to H0 transition occurred in the early Universe. The early evolution…

We propose that the recent observations reported by the different Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) collaborations (i.e.~IPTA, EPTA, PPTA, and NANOGrav) of a common process over several pulsars could correspond to a stochastic gravitational wave…

This paper investigates whether changes to late time physics can resolve the `Hubble tension'. It is argued that many of the claims in the literature favouring such solutions are caused by a misunderstanding of how distance ladder…

The rising concern in the Hubble constant tension ($H_0$ tension) of the cosmological models motivates the scientific community to search for alternative cosmological scenarios that could resolve the $H_0$ tension. In this regard, we aim to…
