abstract
Axion-like early dark energy (EDE) as an extension to $\Lambda$CDM has been proposed as a possible solution to the 'Hubble tension'. We revisit this model using a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization likelihood constructed from the {\it Planck} NPIPE data release. In a Bayesian analysis, we find that the maximum fractional contribution of EDE to the total energy density is $f_{\rm EDE} < 0.061$ (without SH0ES) over the redshift range $z\in[10^3,10^4]$ and that the Hubble constant is constrained to lie within the range $ 66.9 < H_0 < 69.5$ km/s/Mpc (both at 95 \% C.L.). The data therefore favour a model close to $\Lambda$CDM, leaving a residual tension of $3.7\sigma$ with the SH$0$ES Cepheid-based measurement of $H_0$. A comparison with the likelihood profile shows that our conclusions are robust to prior-volume effects. Our new CMB likelihood provides no evidence in favour of a significant EDE component.

Hubble tension: the shape wall
Late-time modifications to the expansion history can raise H0 by at most about 2% (conservative) to 3.7% (permissive) if the CMB acoustic scale is fixed.

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...

BAO miscalibration cannot rescue late-time solutions to the Hubble tension
Even after rescaling BAO data to prefer H0≈73 km/s/Mpc, none of six tested late-time dark-energy models can resolve the Hubble tension once unanchored SNeIa and CMB geometry are included.

Impact of ACT DR6 and DESI DR2 for Early Dark Energy and the Hubble tension
With ACT DR6 and DESI DR2, early dark energy still reconciles CMB and local Hubble measurements to about 2 sigma, and a profile likelihood shows prior-volume effects in Bayesian limits.

Turning a negative neutrino mass into a positive optical depth
The DESI-CMB tension that looks like negative neutrino mass or evolving dark energy is actually a tension in the optical depth tau; freeing tau resolves it within standard cosmology.

$\Lambda$CDM and early dark energy in latent space: a data-driven parametrization of the CMB temperature power spectrum
A variational autoencoder compresses CMB temperature spectra into 5 (LambdaCDM) or 8 (with early dark energy) latent parameters that reconstruct the data within Planck errors and can be constrained with Planck observations.

Can the universe experience an AdS landscape since matter-radiation equality?
A universe with an AdS (negative cosmological constant) phase at recombination and another at low redshift is compatible with Planck, DESI, Pantheon Plus and SH0ES data, though not preferred by them.

Illustrating the consequences of a misuse of $\sigma_8$ in cosmology
Cosmologists should compare clustering amplitude with the h-independent statistic sigma_12 instead of sigma_8, because sigma_8's smoothing scale shifts with H0 and artificially worsens the growth tension in high-H0 models.

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.
