abstract
Exciting clues to isotropic cosmic birefringence have recently been detected in the $EB$ cross-power spectra of the polarization data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Early Dark Energy (EDE) models with a pseudoscalar field coupled to photons via a Chern-Simons term can be used to explain this phenomenon, and can also potentially be used to simultaneously resolve the $H_0$ tension. In this work we incorporate an early dark energy scalar field, including a Chern-Simons coupling, into an existing Boltzmann solver and numerically recover the $EB$ cross-power spectrum for two models in the literature; the $\alpha$-attractor, and the Rock `n' Roll field. We find that both the models fit the $EB$ spectra, and the $EB$ spectra alone do not possess sufficient constraining power to distinguish the two models based on current data.

Planck constraints on the scale dependence of isotropic cosmic birefringence
Planck polarization data favor a constant cosmic birefringence angle (β≈0.3°) across multipoles, with scale dependence consistent with zero at up to 1.8σ.

Model-independent late-universe measurements of $H_0$ and $\Omega_K$ with the parametrization based on cosmic age-improved inverse distance ladder
A cosmic-age-based inverse distance ladder with DESI DR2, DESY5, SGL, CC and GRB data gives H0=71.59±0.94 km/s/Mpc and ΩK=0.001±0.038.

Neutrino mass constraints in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black-hole dark energy model with ACT DR6 and DESI DR2 data
SdSDE dark energy yields a ~0.16–0.21 eV positive neutrino-mass preference with DESI+ACT data, but χ² strongly favors extended ΛCDM and the shift is likely compensation.

Alleviating the $H_0$ tension through the interacting dark energy model from quantum gravitational field theory in light of DESI DR2
With DESI DR2 BAO plus CMB and a SH0ES prior, the two-parameter eeΛCDM model gives δΛ=-0.41±0.14 and H0=71.9±1.0, easing the Hubble tension to 0.8σ, but SN datasets erase the signal.

Planck PR4 (NPIPE) map-space cosmic birefringence
A map-space stacking analysis of Planck PR4 maps finds a CMB polarization rotation angle of about 0.46 to 0.48 degrees, dominated by instrument calibration uncertainty and consistent with no parity-violating cosmic bi...
