abstract
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) reported the event "ZTF19abanrhr" as a candidate electromagnetic (EM) counterpart at a redshift $z=0.438$ to the gravitational wave (GW) emission from the binary black hole merger GW190521. Assuming that ZTF19abanrhr is the {\it bona fide} EM counterpart to GW190521, and using the GW luminosity distance estimate from three different waveforms NRSur7dq4, SEOBNRv4PHM, and IMRPhenomPv3HM, we report a measurement of the Hubble constant $H_0= 50.4_{-19.5}^{+28.1}$ km/s/Mpc, $ 62.2_{-19.7}^{+29.5}$ km/s/Mpc, and $ 43.1_{-11.4}^{+24.6}$ km/s/Mpc (median along with $68\%$ credible interval) respectively after marginalizing over matter density $\Omega_m$ (or dark energy equation of state $w_0$) assuming the flat LCDM (or wCDM) model. Combining our results with the binary neutron star event GW170817 with its redshift measurement alone, as well as with its inclination angle inferred from Very Large Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), we find $H_0= 67.6_{-4.2}^{+4.3}$ km/s/Mpc, $\Omega_m= 0.47_{-0.27}^{+0.34}$, and $w_0= -1.17_{-0.57}^{+0.68}$ (median along with $68\%$ credible interval) providing the most stringent measurement on $H_0$ and the first estimation on $\Omega_m$ and $w_0$ from bright standard siren. In the future, $1.3\%$ measurement of $H_0=68$ km/s/Mpc and $28\%$ measurement of $w_0=-1$ is possible from about $200$ GW190521-like sources.

Hubble constant measurement with 13 bright standard sirens from binary black hole mergers inside active galactic nuclei
Thirteen BBH–AGN bright standard sirens give H0 = 70.50^{+3.37}_{-2.89} (stat) ± 1.56 (cal) km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1} (4.4%), consistent with both Planck and SH0ES with no significant preference.

Tracing the light: Identification for the optical counterpart candidates of binary black-holes during O3
After adding three years of ZTF data, only two of seven proposed AGN flare and GW event pairs, GW190521 with J124942.30+344928.9 and GW190803 022701 with J120437.98+500024.0, show strong statistical association.

Searching for Electromagnetic Counterpart Candidates to GW231123
A crossmatch of GW231123's localization with ZTF AGN-flare catalogs yields six unconfirmed optical flare candidates, with association claims driven largely by the event's high primary mass.

Non-Hermitian Gravitational Wave Scattering
The paper claims gravitational-wave frequencies at spectral singularities agree with the Hubble constant, but the agreement is obtained by freely choosing mode numbers and inserting H0 into the equations.
