The Hubble ($H_0$) tension between direct measurements of the expansion rate and the prediction of the $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model calibrated on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), is a strong motivation to explore alternative…
Weak galaxy lensing surveys have consistently reported low values of the $S_8$ parameter compared to the $\textit{Planck}\ \Lambda\rm{CDM}$ cosmology. Amon & Efstathiou (2022) used KiDS-1000 cosmic shear measurements to propose that this…
The possibility that the $H_0$ tension is a sign of a physics beyond the $\Lambda$CDM model is one of the most exciting possibilities in modern cosmology. The challenge of solving this problem is complicated by several factors, including…
We investigate linear matter density perturbations in the $\Lambda_{\rm s}$CDM, in which the $\Lambda$ is replaced by late-time ($z\sim2$) mirror AdS-dS transition, resulting in distinct growth dynamics. We use two complementary approaches:…
The $\Lambda$CDM model provides a good fit to most astronomical observations but harbors large areas of phenomenology and ignorance. With the improvements in the precision and number of observations, discrepancies between key cosmological…
Beyond-$\Lambda$CDM models have been proposed to address various shortcomings of the standard cosmological model, such as the ``Hubble tension.'' These models often have an impact on the discrepancy in the amplitude of matter clustering,…
The parameter $\sigma_8$ is the rms mass fluctuations on a scale of $R_8=8h^{-1}$ Mpc and is used to quantify the amplitude of matter fluctuations at linear scales. However, the dependence of $R_8$ on $h$ complicates direct comparisons of…
Cosmological measurements have revealed tensions within the standard $\Lambda$CDM model, notably discrepancies in the Hubble constant and $S_8$ parameter. A modified recombination scenario involving a time-varying electron mass has been…
The $\Lambda$CDM model provides an excellent fit to the CMB data. However, a statistically significant tension emerges when its determination of the Hubble constant $H_0$ is compared to the local distance-redshift measurements. The…
Models of dark energy or modified gravity that tries to alleviate the tensions on the Hubble constant ($H_0$) and the matter fluctuation parameter ($\sigma_8$) are usually parameterized as function of either late or early time cosmic…
The $\Lambda$CDM model successfully explains a wide range of cosmological observations; however, persistent discrepancies most notably the $H_0$ tension between early and late time measurements challenge its completeness. No proposed…
The discrepancy between Planck data and direct measurements of the current expansion rate $H_0$ and the matter fluctuation amplitude $S_8$ has become one of the most intriguing puzzles in cosmology nowadays. The $H_0$ tension has reached…
The parameter $S_8$, a key probe of cosmic structure growth, exhibits a persistent $\sim3\sigma$ tension between high-redshift measurements from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and low-redshift weak gravitational lensing…
A well-known problem of the $\Lambda$CDM model is the tension between the relatively high level of clustering, as quantified by the parameter $\sigma_8$, found in cosmic microwave background experiments and the smaller one obtained from…
In order to investigate the origin of the ongoing tension between the amplitude of matter fluctuations measured by weak lensing experiments at low redshifts and the value inferred from the cosmic microwave background anisotropies, we…
We develop a new phenomenological model that addresses current tensions between observations of the early and late Universe. Our scenario features: (i) a decaying dark energy fluid (DDE), which undergoes a transition at $z \sim 5,000$, to…
Recent observations from weak gravitational lensing (WL) surveys indicate a smoother Universe compared to the predictions of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This inconsistency is commonly referred to as the $\sigma_8$ tension or…
The $\Lambda$CDM prediction of $S_8\equiv\sigma_8(\Omega_m/0.3)^{0.5}$ -- where $\sigma_8$ is the root mean square of matter fluctuations on a 8 $h^{-1}$Mpc scale -- once calibrated on Planck CMB data is $2-3\sigma$ lower than its direct…
We carry out a multi-probe self-consistency test of the flat $\Lambda$CDM model with the aim of exploring potential causes of the reported tensions between high- and low-redshift cosmological observations. We divide the model into two…
Several cosmological tensions have emerged in light of recent data, most notably in the inferences of the parameters $H_0$ and $\sigma_8$. We explore the possibility of alleviating both these tensions {\it simultaneously} by means of the…
