Presently, we are facing a 3$\sigma$ tension in the most basic cosmological parameter -- the Hubble constant $H_0$. This tension arises when fitting the Lambda-cold-dark-matter model ($\Lambda$CDM) to the high-precision…

Axion-like early dark energy (EDE) as an extension to $\Lambda$CDM has been proposed as a possible solution to the 'Hubble tension'. We revisit this model using a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization likelihood…

The Hubble tension is one of the most significant challenges in modern cosmology. Developing new approaches to estimate the Hubble constant is therefore crucial, and in this work, we employ a Gaussian process, a fully model-independent…

The Hubble constant ($H_0$), which represents the expansion rate of the Universe, is one of the most important cosmological parameters. The recent measurements of $H_0$ using the distance ladder methods such as Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia)…

Hubble tension and the search for preferred direction are two crucial unresolved issues in modern cosmology. Different measurements of the Hubble constant provide significantly different values, and this is known as the Hubble tension. The…

We propose a new dark energy (DE) model from four parameter generalized entropy function of apparent horizon in a spatially flat universe. Such kind of generalized entropy is able to generalize all the known entropies proposed so far, for…

Small-scale inhomogeneities in the baryon density around recombination have been proposed as a solution to the tension between local and global determinations of the Hubble constant. These baryon clumping models make distinct predictions…

We test whether $f(Q)$ symmetric teleparallel gravity theories can solve the Hubble tension consistently with DESI DR2 BAO. We consider three $f(Q)$ functional forms: logarithmic, exponential, and hyperbolic tangent. We extend these models…
