abstract

Recently, it has been found that complete resolution of the Hubble tension might point to a scale-invariant Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum of primordial scalar perturbation, i.e. $n_s=1$ for $H_0\sim 73$km/s/Mpc. We show that for well-known slow-roll models, if inflation ends by a waterfall instability with respect to another field in the field space while inflaton is still at a deep slow-roll region, $n_s$ can be lifted to $n_s= 1$. A surprise of our result is that with pre-recombination early dark energy, chaotic $\phi^2$ inflation, ruled out by Planck+BICEP/Keck in standard $\Lambda$CDM, can be revived, which is now well within testable region of upcoming cosmic microwave background B-mode experiments.

  1. DeepInflation: an AI agent for research and model discovery of inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An LLM agent with symbolic regression finds simple inflation potentials that match target CMB observables, but the outputs are fitted to the targets rather than independently predicted.

  2. Impact of DESI BAO Data on Inflationary Parameters: stability against late-time new physics

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using CMB, supernova, and DESI BAO data, this study finds that inflationary parameters n_s and A_s remain stable (shifts under 1%) when SDSS BAO data is replaced by DESI BAO data across several late-time models.

  3. Bridge the Cosmological Tensions with Thawing Gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Thawing Gravity, a scalar-tensor theory with a non-minimally coupled scalar field, fits the full cosmological dataset better than LambdaCDM and yields H0=71.78+/-0.86 and S8=0.793+/-0.012.

  4. Can the universe experience an AdS landscape since matter-radiation equality?

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A universe with an AdS (negative cosmological constant) phase at recombination and another at low redshift is compatible with Planck, DESI, Pantheon Plus and SH0ES data, though not preferred by them.

  5. Can the sound horizon-free measurement of $H_0$ constrain early new physics?

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Mock galaxy-survey analyses show that sound-horizon-free H0 measurements do not currently rule out BAO-compatible early dark energy models, and LambdaCDM-derived priors can bias the result.

  6. Prepare inflationary universe via the Euclidean charged wormhole

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A semiclassical Euclidean charged wormhole with an anti-de Sitter boundary can, in a fine-tuned potential, assign higher probability to a longer inflationary period, but it does not beat the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary state.

  7. Dark energy and lensing anomaly in Planck CMB data

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    When the Planck lensing amplitude AL is fitted freely, DESI+CMB+SN data no longer prefer evolving dark energy, and DESI BAO's lower matter density worsens the lensing anomaly in LambdaCDM.

  8. The Hubble tension: A decade review

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Pure early or late fixes to the Hubble tension are tightly constrained; remaining options are combined early-late interacting dark energy or new physics at the local-to-homogeneous transition.
