On the use of the local prior on the absolute magnitude of Type Ia supernovae in cosmological inference
read the original abstract
A dark-energy which behaves as the cosmological constant until a sudden phantom transition at very-low redshift ($z<0.1$) seems to solve the >4$\sigma$ disagreement between the local and high-redshift determinations of the Hubble constant, while maintaining the phenomenological success of the $\Lambda$CDM model with respect to the other observables. Here, we show that such a hockey-stick dark energy cannot solve the $H_0$ crisis. The basic reason is that the supernova absolute magnitude $M_B$ that is used to derive the local $H_0$ constraint is not compatible with the $M_B$ that is necessary to fit supernova, BAO and CMB data, and this disagreement is not solved by a sudden phantom transition at very-low redshift. We make use of this example to show why it is preferable to adopt in the statistical analyses the prior on $M_B$ as an alternative to the prior on $H_0$. The three reasons are: i) one avoids potential double counting of low-redshift supernovae, ii) one avoids assuming the validity of cosmography, in particular fixing the deceleration parameter to the standard model value $q_0=-0.55$, iii) one includes in the analysis the fact that $M_B$ is constrained by local calibration, an information which would otherwise be neglected in the analysis, biasing both model selection and parameter constraints. We provide the priors on $M_B$ relative to the recent Pantheon and DES-SN3YR supernova catalogs. We also provide a Gaussian joint prior on $H_0$ and $q_0$ that generalizes the prior on $H_0$ by SH0ES.

Exploring the interplay of late-time dynamical dark energy and new physics before recombination
Under standard recombination, phantom-crossing dynamical dark energy is preferred at ~97–98.5% probability; early-time fixes to the Hubble tension erase that preference while creating severe ω_m tension with CMB.

Tensions in the supernova intercept a_B at z~0.01 in PantheonPlus and z~0.1 in DES-Y5 point to data systematics or inter-survey inconsistencies rather than new physics, aligning H0 measurements and reducing support fo...

Exploring the interplay of late-time dynamical dark energy and new physics before recombination
Model-independent reconstruction finds 96.7-98.5% probability of phantom crossing if recombination is standard, but early new physics to ease Hubble tension weakens this preference while requiring unrealistically high...
