Gaussian processes provide a method for extracting cosmological information from observations without assuming a cosmological model. We carry out cosmography -- mapping the time evolution of the cosmic expansion -- in a model-independent manner using kinematic variables and a geometric probe of cosmology. Using the state of the art supernova distance data from the Union2.1 compilation, we constrain, without any assumptions about dark energy parametrization or matter density, the Hubble parameter and deceleration parameter as a function of redshift. Extraction of these relations is tested successfully against models with features on various coherence scales, subject to certain statistical cautions.

  1. A data-driven prediction for the primordial deuterium abundance

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Gaussian process regression on nuclear data predicts 10^5 D/H = 2.442 ± 0.040, 1.70 sigma below observation and consistent with first-principles calculations.

  2. Model-Independent Reconstruction of Quintessence Potential and Kinetic Energy from DESI DR2 and Pantheon+ Supernovae

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Quintessence potential decreases monotonically with redshift while kinetic energy crosses zero near z=1, with negative values at intermediate redshifts being statistical artifacts from derivative reconstruction.

  3. Latent-Space Gaussian Processes for Dark-Energy Reconstruction from Observational \(H(z)\) Data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Latent-f and latent-H Gaussian process reconstructions from OHD data both yield f(z), w(z), and Om(z) consistent with Lambda-CDM, with no strong predictive preference and small prior-dependent residuals mainly at high...

  4. Model-independent consistency tests of DESI DR2 BAO and SN Ia

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    DESI DR2 BAO and Pantheon+/Union3 SN Ia datasets are mutually consistent at 1-2 sigma using crossing statistics, supporting a reconstruction suggestive of evolving dark energy at low redshift.

  5. Extended Dark Energy analysis using DESI DR2 BAO measurements

    astro-ph.CO 2025-03 conditional novelty 4.0

    Extended analysis of DESI DR2 data confirms robust evidence for dynamical dark energy with phantom crossing preference, stable under parametric and non-parametric modeling.
