abstract
We report cosmological results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) when combined with recent data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). By jointly analyzing ACT and Planck data and applying conservative cuts to overlapping multipole ranges, we assess how different Planck+ACT dataset combinations affect consistency with DESI. While ACT alone exhibits a tension with DESI exceeding 3$\sigma$ within the $\Lambda$CDM model, this discrepancy is reduced when ACT is analyzed in combination with Planck. For our baseline DESI DR2 BAO+Planck PR4+ACT likelihood combination, the preference for evolving dark energy over a cosmological constant is about 3$\sigma$, increasing to over 4$\sigma$ with the inclusion of Type Ia supernova data. While the dark energy results remain quite consistent across various combinations of Planck and ACT likelihoods with those obtained by the DESI collaboration, the constraints on neutrino mass are more sensitive, ranging from $\sum m_\nu < 0.061$ eV in our baseline analysis, to $\sum m_\nu < 0.077$ eV (95\% confidence level) in the CMB likelihood combination chosen by ACT when imposing the physical prior $\sum m_\nu>0$ eV.

DESI DR2 Results IV: Alcock-Paczy\'nski Measurements from the Lyman Alpha Forest and Cosmological Constraints
The full shape of DESI DR2 Lyman-alpha forest correlations constrains the distance ratio DM/DH at z=2.33 to 1.0%, twice as precise as BAO alone.

Measuring Cosmic Neutrino Masses Independently of Dark Energy
Two dark-energy-robust cosmological routes bound ∑mν to <0.152 eV (marginalized) and <0.41 eV (late-Universe-free), with the latter independent of tested w(a) models by construction.

Cosmological Concordance in an Especially Opaque Universe: A Tentative Cosmological Detection of Physical Neutrino Mass in $\Lambda$CDM
Imposing a high prior on τ = 0.11 ± 0.006 produces a 2σ positive neutrino mass sum of 0.10 eV and restores concordance between CMB and DESI data inside ΛCDM.

Sound Mode and Scale-Dependent Growth in Two-Fluid Dynamical Dark Energy
DDE sound modes induce scale-dependent growth and halo bias comparable to massless neutrinos; multi-tracer P+B forecasts detect it for c_s^{2} ~ 10^{-2}–10^{-4}, while lower speeds produce ~10% drag on cluster growth-...

Reanalyzing DESI DR1: 4. Percent-Level Cosmological Constraints from Combined Probes and Robust Evidence for the Normal Neutrino Mass Hierarchy
A combined-analysis of DESI galaxy clustering, CMB lensing, BAO, CMB, and supernovae yields percent-level Lambda-CDM parameters, improved dark-energy figure-of-merit, and neutrino-mass bounds that disfavor the inverte...

Rapid late-time reionization: constraints and cosmological implications
Reionization is inferred to be rapid and late (midpoint z≈7, duration Δz50≈1.1), yielding an optical depth τ=0.0492 from Lyman-alpha + BAO + BBN, independent of CMB data.

Cosmological neutrino mass: a frequentist overview in light of DESI
A frequentist profile-likelihood analysis of DESI, Planck, ACT, and eBOSS Lyman-alpha data yields Σmν < 53 meV (95% C.L.) in flat ΛCDM and a CMB-independent bound of 285 meV.

Quantum stress-energy at timelike boundaries: testing a new beyond-$\Lambda$CDM parameter with cosmological data
Timelike boundaries sourcing negative, 1/a-scaling vacuum energy fit CMB+BAO data slightly better than LCDM and relax the neutrino-mass constraint, though the preference is only about 2 sigma.

Impact of CMB low-$\ell$ EE polarization data on dark energy parameterizations
Removing Planck's low-ℓ EE polarization data shifts A_s and τ_reio upward and makes three dark-energy parameterizations look more quintessence-like, with model-selection evidence depending on the dataset and prior.

Probing non-unitarity of the PMNS matrix in P2SO and comparison with DUNE
Projected GLoBES sensitivities show DUNE constrains the non-unitarity parameters α11 and |α21| better, while P2SO wins on α33 (and marginally α22); non-unitarity also distorts mass-hierarchy, octant, and CP-violation ...

The BAO-CMB Tension and Implications for Inflation
The upward shift in the scalar spectral index n_s in CMB+BAO analyses is driven by the combined effects of a known CMB degeneracy and the tension between CMB and DESI BAO data, not by new information about n_s itself.

Bayesian and frequentist perspectives agree on dynamical dark energy
Frequentist profile-likelihood constraints on the CPL dark-energy parameters w0 and wa agree with Bayesian posteriors across DESI, CMB, and SN datasets, corroborating the evidence for dynamical dark energy.

Implicit Likelihood Inference of the Neutrino Mass Hierarchy from Cosmological Data
A simulation-based neural-likelihood analysis of Planck 2018 and DESI DR2 data reports a weak preference (tilde_Delta = 0.12, 68% CL interval spanning both signs) for the normal neutrino mass hierarchy.

Looking beyond lambda
A perspective piece argues that LambdaCDM is showing cracks and that cosmologists should prepare for a beyond-LambdaCDM era with more complex dark energy models.
