We do not solve tensions with concordance cosmology; we do obtain $H_0\approx 74\,$km/s/Mpc from CMB+BAO+SN data in our model, but that is not the point. Discrepancies in Hubble constant values obtained by various astrophysical probes…

We investigate late time acceleration of the universe in higher dimensional cosmology. The content in the universe is assumed to exert pressure which is different in the normal and extra dimensions. Cosmologically viable solutions are found…

Currently, the standard cosmological model faces some tensions and discrepancies between observations at early and late cosmological time. One of them concerns the well-known $H_0$-tension problem, i.e., a $\sim4.4\sigma$-difference between…

We construct data-driven solutions to the Hubble tension which are perturbative modifications to the fiducial $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, using the Fisher bias formalism. Taking as proof of principle the case of a time-varying electron mass and…

The Hubble tension is usually expressed as a discrepancy between the low H_0 inferred from Planck CMB data within base \LambdaCDM and the higher value obtained from late-time distance-ladder measurements. This scalar comparison compresses…

The discrepancy between low and high redshift Hubble constant $H_0$ measurements is the highest significance tension within the concordance $\Lambda$CDM paradigm. If not due to unknown systematics, the Hubble puzzle suggests a lack of…

Models of a dark radiation sector with a mass threshold (WZDR+) have proved to be an appealing alternative to $\Lambda$CDM. These models provide simple comparison models, grounded in well-understood particle physics and with limited…

Phantom dark energy can produce amplified cosmic acceleration at late times, thus increasing the value of $H_0$ favored by CMB data and releasing the tension with local measurements of $H_0$. We show that the best fit value of $H_0$ in the…

We present a model-independent null test of the late-time cosmological response to a reduced sound horizon, as typically required by early-universe solutions to the Hubble tension. In this approach, we phenomenologically impose a shorter…

We propose a unified scalar-field framework that addresses, within standard general relativity, three current cosmological anomalies: the $H_0$ tension, the mild preference for reduced late-time clustering ($S_8$), and recent indications of…

We investigate the cosmological applications of new gravitational scalar-tensor theories and we analyze them in the light of $H_0$ tension. In these theories the Lagrangian contains the Ricci scalar and its first and second derivatives in a…

We formulate the late-transition interacting thawer (LTIT) as a late-activating, variable-coupling realization of coupled quintessence in which a canonical scalar field couples conformally only to cold dark matter. The construction is…

Values of the Hubble constant between the direct measurements from various independent local observations and that inferred from the cosmic microwave background with the $\Lambda$-cold-dark-matter model are in tension with persistent…

The standard $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter cosmological model provides a wonderful fit to current cosmological data, but a few tensions and anomalies became statistically significant with the latest data analyses. While these anomalies could…
