Cross-correlations of SN Ia in redshift and distance space with galaxies can constrain a constant magnitude offset ΔM at the ~0.05 level in optimistic survey forecasts, partially breaking the H0–ΔM degeneracy.

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.

Nonminimal curvature-matter coupling produces dynamical dark energy consistent with DESI observations and lunar laser ranging equivalence principle constraints.
The Zel'dovich smearing approximation for model-agnostic BAO inference is extended to include fiducial cosmology distortions and validated on AbacusSummit simulations of DESI- and Euclid-like samples, producing unbiased constraints.
N-body simulations show that peculiar velocities produce large dispersion in local H0 estimates at scales below ~135 Mpc/h, with >5% deviations common up to 40 Mpc/h and a negative correlation with local over-density.
