abstract
We identify examples of single field inflationary trajectories beyond the slow-roll regime which improve the fit to Planck 2018 data compared to baseline $\Lambda$CDM model with power law form of primordial spectrum and at the same time alleviate existing tensions between different data sets in the estimate of cosmological parameters such as $H_0$ and $S_8$. A damped oscillation in the first Hubble flow function - or equivalently a feature in the potential - and the corresponding localized oscillations in the primordial power spectrum partially mimic the improvement in the fit of Planck data due to $A_L$ or $\Omega_K$. Compared to the baseline model, this model can lead simultaneously to larger value of $H_0$ and a smaller value of $S_8$, a trend which can be enhanced when the most recent SH0ES measurement for $H_0$ is combined with Planck and BK18 data. Large scale structure data and more precise CMB polarization measurements will further provide critical tests of this intermediate fast roll phase.

Nonlinear Lattice Framework for Inflation: Bridging stochastic inflation and the $\delta{N}$ formalism
A shear-free locally FLRW lattice framework for single-field inflation captures spatially varying expansion, curvature corrections, and nonlinear δN observables at a fraction of the cost of full numerical relativity.

The $H_0$ world cup. II. A comprehensive competition between proposed Hubble tension solutions
Against a common 2025-26 dataset (Planck PR4, ACT DR6, SPT-3G, DESI DR2, Pantheon+), early dark energy and early modified gravity models win the H0 competition (~3σ residual tension), while radiation and late-time sol...

Primordial Sharp Features through the Nonlinear Regime of Structure Formation
Sharp primordial features survive nonlinear structure formation as localised bumps or dips in the matter power spectrum, while their oscillatory patterns are erased, leaving an oscillatory imprint in the halo mass function.
