Inflation, Open Universes, and Dark Energy

Anton Chudaykin, Mikhail M. Ivanov, Renata Kallosh +3

The authors analyze how allowing a small negative spatial curvature and/or a time‑varying dark energy equation of state changes the inferred scalar spectral index nₛ from CMB and g…

A Periodically Interacting Dark Sector: Signatures and Constraints from CMB and Cosmic Expansion Data

Marco Antonio Cardoso Alvarez, Micol Benetti, Leila Graef +1

The paper proposes a cosmological model where the interaction between dark matter and dark energy oscillates in sign over time, representing the back‑reaction of super‑Hubble fluct…

Early- and late-time constraints on Wald-Gauss-Bonnet topological dark energy and implications for the and tensions

Stylianos A. Tsilioukas, Fotios K. Anagnostopoulos, Spyros Basilakos +2

The paper investigates Wald‑Gauss‑Bonnet topological dark energy as a late‑time modification to the expansion history, performing early‑ and late‑Universe data analyses that show i…

Non-Primordial Contribution to the Cosmic Microwave Background

Akshith Asundi, Vikram Khaire

The paper investigates whether dust‑enshrouded starbursts at very high redshift can contribute a small non‑primordial component to the cosmic microwave background, using CMB anisot…

Signatures of Modified Gravity on Linear Scales in a Dynamical Dark Energy Background

Yo Toda, Adrià Gómez-Valent

The paper studies how possible deviations from General Relativity on linear scales influence cosmic structure growth in a universe with dynamical dark energy (CPL model), and uses…
