abstract
The spectral index $n_s$ of scalar perturbation is the significant initial condition set by inflation theory for our observable Universe. According to Planck results, current constraint is $n_s = 0.965\pm 0.004$, while an exact scale-invaiant Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum, i.e. $n_s=1$, has been ruled out at $8.4\sigma$ significance level. However, it is well-known that the standard $\Lambda$CDM model is suffering from the Hubble tension, which is at $\sim 5\sigma$ significance level. This inconsistency likely indicates that the comoving sound horizon at last scattering surface is actually lower than expected, which so seems to be calling for the return of $n_s=1$. Here, in light of recent observations we find strong evidence for a $n_s=1$ Universe. And we show that if so, it would be confirmed conclusively by CMB-S4 experiment.

DeepInflation: an AI agent for research and model discovery of inflation
An LLM agent with symbolic regression finds simple inflation potentials that match target CMB observables, but the outputs are fitted to the targets rather than independently predicted.

Influence of supermassive primordial black holes on ultraviolet luminosity of high-redshift galaxies
Fitting a model of supermassive primordial black holes to JWST data at z=11 reproduces the excess of bright galaxies, but the agreement reflects parameter tuning rather than an independent test.

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.
