abstract
We measure the current expansion rate of the Universe, Hubble's constant $H_0$, by calibrating the absolute magnitudes of supernovae to distances measured by Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. This `inverse distance ladder' technique provides an alternative to calibrating supernovae using nearby absolute distance measurements, replacing the calibration with a high-redshift anchor. We use the recent release of 1829 supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey spanning $0.01\lt z \lt1.13$ anchored to the recent Baryon Acoustic Oscillation measurements from DESI spanning $0.30 \lt z_{\mathrm{eff}} \lt 2.33$. To trace cosmology to $z=0$, we use the third-, fourth- and fifth-order cosmographic models, which, by design, are agnostic about the energy content and expansion history of the universe. With the inclusion of the higher-redshift DESI-BAO data, the third-order model is a poor fit to both data sets, with the fourth-order model being preferred by the Akaike Information Criterion. Using the fourth-order cosmographic model, we find $H_0=67.19^{+0.66}_{-0.64}\mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \mathrm{~Mpc}^{-1}$, in agreement with the value found by Planck without the need to assume Flat-$\Lambda$CDM. However the best-fitting expansion history differs from that of Planck, providing continued motivation to investigate these tensions.

Skipping the rungs! Calibrating distance indicators through their clustering with galaxies
Fisher forecasts show angular cross-correlations between distance indicators and galaxy catalogs can constrain a constant calibration offset to ~0.05 mag and H0 to ~1.81 km/s/Mpc with future LSST+DESI data.

Cosmography for a General Spacetime Centred at Arbitrary Redshift
A general-relativistic cosmographic expansion centered at arbitrary redshift is derived and tested on void and overdensity LTB models, showing that its coefficients lose strict local meaning near density gradients.

Reanalyzing Megamasers: a low value of $H_0$ from a local probe changes our view of the Hubble Tension
Reanalyzing six megamaser galaxies with the M25 peculiar velocity reconstruction yields H0 ≈ 68.7 km/s/Mpc, consistent with the CMB and about 2.2σ below the local distance ladder.

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.

Late Time Dynamical Dark Energy and the CMB-Distance Ladder Tension
The SNIa absolute-magnitude tension between the distance ladder (−19.204) and CMB+ΛCDM (−19.430) is independent of late-time expansion history, and DESI's w0–wa dark-energy hints shift H0 by only ~0.3–0.4 km/s/Mpc.

Doppler, gravitational and cosmological redshifts
The authors derive the three redshifts from energy-momentum conservation and suggest that a variable speed of light inside an expanding black hole can resolve the Hubble tension.
