abstract
We propose a cosmological model, \"u$\Lambda$CDM, based on {\it \"uber-gravity}, which is a canonical ensemble average of many theories of gravity. In this model, we have a sharp transition from (a purely) $\Lambda$CDM era to a phase in which the Ricci scalar is a constant. This transition occurs when the Ricci scalar reaches a critical scale or alternatively at a transition redshift, $z_\oplus$. We use the observations of baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) and Supernovae Ia (SNe), as well as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data to constrain \"u$\Lambda$CDM. This yields $H_0=70.6_{-1.3}^{+1.1}$ km/s/Mpc, $\Omega_m=0.2861 \pm{0.0092} $ and $z_\oplus=0.537_{-0.375}^{+0.277}$, providing a marginally better fit with a Akaike information criterion of 0.8. %After adding in the data from BAO in the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest in quasar spectra, we get $\Delta\chi^2=-2.14$, where the best fit occurs at $H_0=71.2_{-1.5}^{+1.8}$ km/s/Mpc, $\Omega_m=0.280\pm 0.013$ and $z_{\oplus}= 0.41^{+0.31}_{-0.29}$. Therefore, \"u$\Lambda$CDM can ease the $H_0$-tension, albeit marginally, with one additional free parameter. We also provide a preliminary study of the linear perturbation theory in \"u$\Lambda$CDM which points to interesting potential {\it smoking guns} in the observations of large scales structure at $z < z_{\oplus}$.

Early- and late-time constraints on Wald-Gauss-Bonnet topological dark energy and implications for the $H_0$ and $S_8$ tensions
A joint CMB, BAO, and supernova fit mildly prefers a non-zero Wald-Gauss-Bonnet dark-energy term (~3σ with SH0ES included), raising H0 from 68.5 to 69.8 km/s/Mpc and easing the Hubble tension by ~0.9σ at the cost of a...

Dark Neutrino interactions phase out the Hubble tension
Dark matter-neutrino interactions that block neutrino free streaming shift CMB acoustic peaks and reduce the Hubble tension from about 3.8σ to about 2.1σ in a fit to Planck and WiggleZ data.

Interacting dark energy in the early 2020s: a promising solution to the $H_0$ and cosmic shear tensions
An interacting dark energy model with coupling proportional to the dark energy density alleviates the H0 and S8 tensions in Planck 2018 data but is not preferred once BAO and supernova data are included.

Resolving Hubble Tension with Quintom Dark Energy Model
A small negative-density component with equation of state 1/3≤w≤1 can lift H0 from 67.4 to about 74, but the coupled quintom model realizing it either misses the CMB peak or gives H0=68.55.

Cosmological constraints in extended parameter space from the Planck 2018 Legacy release
Planck 2018 constraints in extended cosmological models show the A_L lensing anomaly persists, phantom dark energy with w<-1 can absorb the Hubble tension only when the local H0 prior is included, and neutrino mass bo...
