abstract
We use the large-scale structure galaxy data (LSS) from the BOSS and eBOSS surveys, in combination with abundances information from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) to measure two values of the Hubble expansion rate, $H_0=100h\,[{\rm km}\, {\rm s}^{-1}\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}]$, each of them based on very different physical processes. One is a (traditional) late-time-background measurement based on determining the BAO scale and using BBN abundances on baryons for calibrating its absolute size (BAO+BBN). This method anchors $H_0$ to the (standard) physics of the sound horizon scale at pre-recombination times. The other is a newer early-time based measurement associated with the broadband shape of the power spectrum. This second method anchors $H_0$ to the physics of the matter-radiation equality scale, which also needs BBN information for determining the suppression of baryons in the power spectrum shape (shape+BBN). Within the $\Lambda$CDM model, we find very good consistency among these two $H_0$'s: BAO+BBN (+growth) delivers $H_0=67.42_{-0.94}^{+0.88}$ $(67.37_{-0.95}^{+0.86})$ km s$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$ , whereas the shape+BBN (+growth) delivers $H_0 = 70.1_{-2.1}^{+2.1}$ $(70.1_{-2.1}^{+1.9})$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$, where "growth" stands for information from the late-time-perturbations captured by the growth of structure parameter. These are the tightest sound-horizon free $H_0$ constraints from LSS data to date. As a consequence to be viable, any $\Lambda$CDM extension proposed to address the so-called "Hubble tension" needs to modify consistently not only the sound horizon scale physics, but also the matter-radiation equality scale, in such a way that both late- and early-based $H_0$'s return results mutually consistent and consistent with the high $H_0$ value recovered by the standard cosmic distance ladder (distance-redshift relation) determinations.

A sound horizon independent measurement of $H_0$ from BOSS, DESI and DES Y3
Combining BOSS power spectrum and bispectrum with DESI and DES lensing data yields a sound-horizon-free H0 = 70.2 ± 2.3 km/s/Mpc, with a 1.8σ BAO scale deviation that is scale-cut dependent.

Fiducial-Cosmology-dependent systematics for the DESI 2024 Full-Shape Analysis
Changing the assumed fiducial cosmology in DESI DR1 full-shape mock analyses shifts inferred parameters by at most 0.22 sigma in full-modeling and 0.45 sigma in ShapeFit, both within the survey's statistical uncertainty.

Implications for dark energy of cosmic transparency in light of DESI data
No deviation found from the distance duality relation in combined DESI, CMB, and supernova data, ruling out dimming as an explanation of the Hubble tension.

Growth, geometry, and early-universe split of the matter density parameter $\Omega_{\rm m}$
Splitting Ω_m into geometry, growth, and early-universe regimes yields mutually compatible values, yet ΔΩ_m^{geo,early} is 2σ from zero under combined DES, Planck (scale-cut), DESI, Pantheon+, and RSD data.

DESI constraints on two-field quintessence with exponential potentials
A two-field exponential-potential quintessence model fits DESI+CMB+SnIa data with moderate Bayesian preference over ΛCDM and slope parameters λφ≈λχ≈1.

Dissipative Unimodular Gravity: Linking Energy Diffusion to Bulk Viscosity as an Alternative to $\Lambda$CDM under DESI DR2 Data
A viscous version of unimodular gravity fits late-time cosmological data as well as ΛCDM, but the fitted viscosity is consistent with zero and the claimed energy nonconservation is not statistically significant.

The Hubble tension: A decade review
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.
