A new analytical formalism self-consistently predicts both the ionized fraction x_i(z) and photoionization rate Gamma_HI(z), achieving percent-level accuracy in x_i and 20-30% accuracy in Gamma_HI versus radiative transfer simulations at z less than or equal to 6.

Assuming τ=0.11±0.006 yields a 2σ positive neutrino mass detection (Σmν=0.10^{+0.04}_{-0.05} eV) and removes CMB-DESI tensions within ΛCDM.
An interacting sterile neutrino component via pseudoscalar mediator reconciles CMB and DESI DR2 BAO measurements with 2.7 sigma preference and reduces H0 tension to 2.4 sigma.
A Gompertzian reionization model with three nuisance parameters demotes optical depth to a derived quantity, reducing its uncertainty by a factor of three and revealing potential neutrino mass tension in CMB analyses.
No monotonic reionization history fits Planck τ, patchy kSZ from SPT/ACT, and Lyα endpoint; an early ionization phase at z≳12 relaxes ∑mν<0.39 eV and shifts σ8 via As-τ degeneracy.
Bin-wise uncorrelated reconstruction from DESI/SDSS BAO and Pantheon+/Union3.1/DES-Dovekie supernovae yields dark energy density peaking then declining and equation of state oscillating with phantom crossing near z~0.7, consistent across datasets at moderate significance.
A compressed Gaussian likelihood for Planck low-ℓ data is built from SRoll2 via offset log-normal functions for Fisher compatibility and validated against the original via MCMC.
Early dark energy resolves CMB-BAO tension and, combined with thawing quintessence, reduces overall cosmological tensions without phantom crossing.
Reanalysis of DESI full-shape clustering data tightens constraints on neutrino mass, spatial curvature, and dark energy equation-of-state parameters relative to BAO-only results.
Cosmological data can constrain only a handful of EFT parameters for single-scalar dark energy; extended models show modest preference over Λ but remain underdetermined and challenged by fifth forces and screening.
Exponential IR f(T) gravity Model I alleviates Hubble tension but is disfavoured by combined Planck/ACT/SPT+DESI+Pantheon+ data; Model II is ruled out because background constraints force unphysical shifts in CMB parameters.
Neutrino interactions in unimodular gravity produce dynamical dark energy whose evolution fits late-time cosmological data for interaction strengths around 10^12 eV^{-2} at 2 sigma for sub-meV neutrino masses.
Marginalizing over generalized slow-roll inflationary templates for the CMB low-power feature raises the 95% upper limit on τ to 0.075 (Planck) or 0.082 (all CMB+BAO), resolving incompatibility with lower bounds.
Numerical simulations show that inhomogeneities in a LambdaCDM universe can lead some observers to infer evolving dark energy parameters consistent with DESI at 2-sigma.
Upcoming neutrino experiments are projected to substantially reduce the number of viable leptonic flavor models in five popular classes by measuring mass ordering, theta_23 octant, delta_CP, and absolute mass scale.
KiDS-Legacy cosmic shear plus external probes yields S8 = 0.816 ± 0.006 in Lambda-CDM and consistent bounds on w0, wa, sum m_nu and Omega_K with no strong preference for extensions.
