Graph-based summary statistics on pulsar timing residuals detect SGWB down to strain amplitude 1.2e-15 and yield 2.3 sigma evidence in NANOGrav 15-year data via clustering coefficient and edge weight measures.
No evidence for primordial hotspots in Planck polarization data leads to improved bounds on inflationary particle production couplings for light particles.
ACT DR6 CMB data shows no significant evidence for extensions beyond Lambda CDM, with neutrino effective species at 2.86 plus or minus 0.13 and sum of neutrino masses below 0.082 eV at 95 percent CL.
Zee models are classified under non-invertible Z_M symmetries; viable candidates are identified from data consistency, and a Z_7 benchmark yields numerical predictions for neutrino parameters and CLFV rates.
Flavour deconstruction models with semi-simple gauge groups generically produce light monopoles that require low-scale reheating after inflation to satisfy cosmological and astrophysical bounds.
Inflaton accretion during reheating drives non-linear PBH mass growth that extends lifetimes and amplifies emitted SGWB by multiple orders of magnitude.
Bose enhancement from a transient condensate of inflaton decay products dramatically increases decay efficiency and amplifies stochastic gravitational wave production to potentially observable levels.
Lepton parity stabilizes a Majorana fermion as freeze-in dark matter produced via right-handed neutrino or Higgs decays, yielding detectable gravitational waves or ΔN_eff depending on scalar couplings.
Fisher-matrix forecasts for LSST- and CMB-S4-like surveys show kSZ tomography tightens constraints on dark energy parameters w0 and wa by 15% and 32% while assessing detectability of perturbations for different sound speeds.
Coupling Chern-Simons gravity to a spectator field in multi-field inflation generates distinctive parity-odd scalar-tensor bispectra with perturbativity bounds on the couplings.
A matter bounce model driven by a scalar field with exponential potential fits Planck 2018 CMB data comparably to inflationary ΛCDM, with the potential slope λ directly setting the scalar spectral index ns.
Galactic foreground residuals after component separation bias lensing reconstruction errors at cosmic-variance levels with Gaussian terms dominating, while non-Gaussian errors are three orders smaller; residuals become a leading error for high-efficiency delensing.
MUST is a planned 6.5m Stage-V spectroscopic survey telescope targeting 100M+ galaxies and quasars to z~5.5 for large-scale structure cosmology studies.
Singlet-doublet dark matter induces radiative neutrino masses at one loop while enabling TeV-scale leptogenesis in both Majorana and Dirac realizations.
Comparison of Galactic magnetic field models to polarized synchrotron observations shows good agreement on angles but poor match on intensity, indicating local foreground structures must be incorporated.
The review summarizes the baseline SM+GR+Lambda-CDM framework, lists major anomalies and missing pieces, surveys theoretical and experimental approaches, and outlines a staged roadmap organized by decision points.
A mini-review of axion phenomenology showing how light bosons can account for dark matter, drive cosmic acceleration, or contribute to relativistic backgrounds in the early and late Universe.
