abstract

Quantifying tensions -- inconsistencies amongst measurements of cosmological parameters by different experiments -- has emerged as a crucial part of modern cosmological data analysis. Statistically-significant tensions between two experiments or cosmological probes may indicate new physics extending beyond the standard cosmological model and need to be promptly identified. We apply several tension estimators proposed in the literature to the Dark Energy Survey (DES) large-scale structure measurement and Planck cosmic microwave background data. We first evaluate the responsiveness of these metrics to an input tension artificially introduced between the two, using synthetic DES data. We then apply the metrics to the comparison of Planck and actual DES Year 1 data. We find that the parameter differences, Eigentension, and Suspiciousness metrics all yield similar results on both simulated and real data, while the Bayes ratio is inconsistent with the rest due to its dependence on the prior volume. Using these metrics, we calculate the tension between DES Year 1 $3\times 2$pt and Planck, finding the surveys to be in $\sim 2.3\sigma$ tension under the $\Lambda$CDM paradigm. This suite of metrics provides a toolset for robustly testing tensions in the DES Year 3 data and beyond.

  1. Alleviating the Hubble Tension with Smooth Sign-Switching Dark Energy: Full CMB Constraints with DESI and PantheonPlus

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Smooth ECDM dark energy remains compatible with Planck+ACT+SPT, DESI DR2 and Pantheon+/SH0ES while alleviating the Hubble tension through a controlled late-time density transition.

  2. Cosmological tensions in Proca-Nuevo theory

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fitting a one-parameter vector-tensor dark energy model to CMB, BAO, and supernova data reduces the Hubble tension to about 1.5–2σ, but the preference over ΛCDM is weak and disappears once full perturbations are included.

  3. Statistical consistency of sign-switching vacuum energy with cosmological observations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using exact non-Gaussian shift and posterior predictive tests, ΛsCDM improves CMB–BAO consistency and softens but does not resolve the Hubble tension, which persists at p≈4×10⁻⁴.

  4. unimpeded: A Public Grid of Nested Sampling Chains for Cosmological Model Comparison and Tension Analysis

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A public library of pre-computed nested-sampling chains for 8 cosmological models and a large dataset grid enables fast Bayesian model comparison; combined analyses most often prefer ΛCDM, with DES–Planck and SH0ES–Pl...

  5. Scalar field dark energy models: Current and forecast constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Combining BAO, CMB, weak lensing, supernova, and strong-lensing data, the authors infer w0 = -0.904 +/- 0.034 for thawing scalar-field dark energy, 2.9 sigma from LCDM.
