A simple and minimal extension of the standard cosmological $\Lambda$CDM model in which dark matter experiences an additional long-range scalar interaction is demonstrated to alleviate the long lasting Hubble-tension while letting…

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…

A potential solution to the Hubble tension is the hypothesis that the Milky Way is located near the center of a matter underdensity. We model this scenario through the Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi formalism with the inclusion of a cosmological…

There has been a significant interest in modifications of the standard $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter ($\Lambda$CDM) cosmological model prompted by tensions between certain datasets, most notably the Hubble tension. The late-time modifications…

As observations of the Hubble parameter from both early and late sources have improved, the tension between these has increased to be well above the 5$\sigma$ threshold. Given this, the need for an explanation of such a tension has grown.…

The Hubble tension, a significant discrepancy between the Hubble constant ($H_0$) values derived from early-time (Cosmic Microwave Background and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations) and late-time (Cepheid-calibrated Type Ia Supernovae)…

The Hubble tension resides in a statistically significant discrepancy between early time and late time determinations of the Hubble constant. We discuss the Hubble tension within the Ellipsoidal Universe cosmological model. We suggest that…

We propose a new intuitive metric for evaluating the tension between two experiments, and apply it to several data sets. While our metric is non-optimal, if evidence of tension is detected, this evidence is robust and easy to interpret.…

The origin of the Hubble tension remains one of the central open problems in modern cosmology, with competing explanations invoking either early-Universe physics, late-time modifications of cosmic expansion, or unresolved observational…

The current expansion rate of the Universe, the Hubble constant $H_0$, is an important cosmological quantity. However, two different ways to measure its value do not agree -- building a low-redshift distance ladder leads to a higher value…

In prerecombination resolutions of the Hubble tension, such as early dark energy, new physics before recombination shifts the values of relevant cosmological parameters so that the models can fit with cosmic microwave background and baryon…
