Abstract

In pre-recombination early dark energy (EDE) resolutions of the Hubble tension, the rise of Hubble constant value is usually accompanied with the exacerbation of so-called tension. Inspired by the swampland conjecture, we investigate what if a fraction of dark matter is coupled to EDE, with . We perform the MCMC analysis for the relevant EDE models with PlanckCMB, BAO, Pantheon and SH0ES dataset, as well as DES-Y1 data, and find that such a fraction helps to alleviate the tension. However, though is allowed for a very small , which suggests that a small fraction of dark matter has ever faded with EDE, is also consistent.
