Reconstruction of dark energy and late-time cosmic expansion using the Weighted Function Regression method

Alex González-Fuentes, Adrià Gómez-Valent

Recent data from multiple supernova catalogs and DESI, when combined with CMB, suggest a non-trivial evolution of dark energy (DE) at the CL. This evidence is typically qu…

Composite Dark Energy and the Cosmological Tensions

Adria Gómez-Valent, Joan Solà Peracaula

The standard cosmological model currently in force, aka CDM, has been plagued with a variety of tensions in the last decade or so, which puts it against the wall. At the core of…

Phantom matter: a challenging solution to the cosmological tensions

Adria Gomez-Valent, Joan Sola Peracaula

The idea of composite dark energy (DE) is quite natural since on general grounds we expect that the vacuum energy density (associated with the cosmological term ) may appear in…
