Constraining the Potential Index $n$ of the Early Dark Energy Model Using Cosmic Birefringence from Planck and ACT

Kedi Zhang, Lu Yin

Cosmic birefringence and the Hubble tension represent compelling challenges to the standard $\hat{I}›$CDM model. The early dark energy (EDE) model with potentials $V(ϕ) \propto [1-\cos(…
