The Cosmic Linear Anisotropy Solving System (CLASS) II: Approximation schemes
Mixed citation behavior. Most common role is method (50%).
abstract
Boltzmann codes are used extensively by several groups for constraining cosmological parameters with Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure data. This activity is computationally expensive, since a typical project requires from 10'000 to 100'000 Boltzmann code executions. The newly released code CLASS (Cosmic Linear Anisotropy Solving System) incorporates improved approximation schemes leading to a simultaneous gain in speed and precision. We describe here the three approximations used by CLASS for basic LambdaCDM models, namely: a baryon-photon tight-coupling approximation which can be set to first order, second order or to a compromise between the two; an ultra-relativistic fluid approximation which had not been implemented in public distributions before; and finally a radiation streaming approximation taking reionisation into account.

Bayesian reconstruction and exhaustive symbolic regression on CMB, BAO, and supernova data yield the one-parameter dark energy parametrization w(a) = w0 / sqrt(a) that fits observations comparably to CPL and better than LambdaCDM.
Derives exact rational-plus-π² closed forms for every multipole coefficient α_ℓ in the neutrino collision kernel by rewriting the kernel as angular derivatives of a Yukawa potential and reducing the integrals via a first-order recurrence.
Control variates with Zeldovich mocks reduce covariance matrix variance by up to an order of magnitude on large scales in DESI-like mocks.
The work demonstrates that multi-tracer field-level SBI on galaxy and HI maps yields 2-7 times better constraints on Omega_m and sigma_8 than single-tracer or summary-statistic approaches, with 3D maps performing best.
Any unified early and late dark energy scenario with a single tracking scalar field requires a potential with three distinct slopes arranged in a steep-steeper-shallow hierarchy.
A Newtonian Motion Gauge found via Einstein-Boltzmann solver maps linear dynamics with scale-dependent growth and GR corrections to Newtonian equations, enabling consistent nonlinear EFT calculations that are transformed back for accuracy in real and redshift space.
Second-order relativistic corrections to the redshift drift are derived; the dominant sub-Hubble term is the squared radial velocity gradient, producing a bispectrum that can exceed the squared power spectrum at low z.
DESI DR1 Lyman-alpha data yields Δ²★=0.379±0.032 and n★=-2.309±0.019 at k★=0.009 km⁻¹s and z=3, sharpening N_eff, α_s, and β_s constraints by factors of 1.18-1.90 when combined with other probes.

Cobaya is a modular Bayesian analysis code that exploits model interdependencies via automatic caching and a novel parameter-blocking algorithm to minimize sampling cost.
Neglecting linear GR effects biases f_NL at 1–3σ for Euclid/SPHEREx in SFB forecasts; multi-tracer improves Doppler detection and weakly breaks b_ϕ f_NL degeneracy.
Optimal redshift weighting on eBOSS QSO full-shape data reduces uncertainties on H0 by 43.3%, σ8 by 19.7%, w0 by 20.5% and produces a bounded posterior on wa in the CPL model.
HIcosmo is a new JAX-based differentiable framework for background cosmology inference that matches Cobaya results while delivering 8.7x CPU and up to 20x GPU speedups.
A geometric invariance makes the BAO-SN Ω_m gap invariant under sound-horizon rescaling α and requires opposite w(z) deformations for the two datasets, so their combination cannot reach the local H0 value.
iDCDM adds two parameters to LambdaCDM so that dark matter decay produces late-time interacting radiation, yielding a distinctive low-redshift suppression of structure growth while leaving BBN and primary CMB unchanged.
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.
First UVLF-based constraints on model-agnostic isocurvature power spectra for CDM, baryon, neutrino, and dark radiation modes yield consistent 95% credible envelopes over k ~ 0.5-10 Mpc^{-1}.
Planck CMB data set upper limits on vector and axial-vector dark matter-electron couplings for masses 100 eV to 100 keV via energy injection from inelastic scattering and hydrogen absorption.
Develops a short-timescale injection formalism for post-recombination fluctuations, derives CMB impacts from scalar/vector/tensor perturbations, and constrains sequestered dark sector phase transitions to permille-level fractional energy injections.
Model-independent reconstruction shows that early-universe modifications resolving the Hubble tension exist at the background level, requiring a smooth ~15% pre-recombination expansion rate enhancement.
Future global 21-cm observations could beat CMB limits on TeV-scale decaying dark matter for lifetimes ≳10^15 s, especially for decays into neutrinos.
