abstract

We apply an Internal Robustness (iR) analysis to the recently released Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) baryon acoustic oscillations dataset. This approach examines combinations of data subsets through a fully Bayesian model comparison, aiming to identify potential outliers, subsets possibly influenced by systematic errors, or hints of new physics. Using this approach, we identify three data points at $z= 0.295,\,0.51,\,0.71$ as potential outliers. Excluding these points improves the internal robustness of the dataset by minimizing statistical anomalies and enables the recovery of $\Lambda$CDM predictions with a best-fit value of $w_0 = -1.050 \pm 0.128$ and $w_a = 0.208 \pm 0.546$. These results raise the intriguing question of whether the identified outliers signal the presence of systematics or point towards new physics.

Testing Gauss-Bonnet Gravity with DESI BAO Data

gr-qc · 2025-08-05 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Both power-law and exponential f(G) models fit recent cosmological data better than standard ΛCDM according to information criteria, with the exponential model predicting a late-time return to deceleration.
