abstract
Taking into account the mass splittings between three active neutrinos, we investigate impacts of dark energy on constraining the total neutrino mass $\sum m_{\nu}$ by using recent cosmological observations. We consider two typical dark energy models, namely, the $w$CDM model and the holographic dark energy (HDE) model, which both have an additional free parameter compared with the $\Lambda$CDM model. We employ the Planck 2015 data of CMB temperature and polarization anisotropies, combined with low-redshift measurements on BAO distance scales, type Ia supernovae, Hubble constant, and Planck lensing. Compared to the $\Lambda$CDM model, our study shows that the upper limit on $\sum m_{\nu}$ becomes much looser in the $w$CDM model while much tighter in the HDE model. In the HDE model, we obtain the $95\%$ CL upper limit $\sum m_{\nu}<0.105~\textrm{eV}$ for three degenerate neutrinos. This might be the most stringent constraint on $\sum m_{\nu}$ by far and is almost on the verge of diagnosing the neutrino mass hierachies in the HDE model. However, the difference of $\chi^2$ is still not significant enough to distinguish the neutrino mass hierarchies, even though the minimal $\chi^2$ of the normal hierarchy is slightly smaller than that of the inverted hierarchy.

Combining GWTC-4 standard sirens with TDCOSMO2025 lensing data under the distance sum rule yields H0 = 83.78 +12.53/-10.23 km/s/Mpc (13.6% precision) in one configuration, consistent with both Planck and SH0ES.
New ACT and DESI data yield model-dependent upper limits on sum of neutrino masses, with holographic dark energy giving the tightest bounds and a consistent preference for degenerate hierarchy.
Upper bounds on total neutrino mass in four phenomenological interacting dark energy models are derived from DESI DR2 BAO plus CMB and SNIa data, showing strong dependence on the interaction term form and statistical preference for models that tighten the bound below the oscillation lower limit.
