abstract

We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements of the CMB anisotropies. We find good consistency with the standard spatially-flat 6-parameter $\Lambda$CDM cosmology having a power-law spectrum of adiabatic scalar perturbations (denoted "base $\Lambda$CDM" in this paper), from polarization, temperature, and lensing, separately and in combination. A combined analysis gives dark matter density $\Omega_c h^2 = 0.120\pm 0.001$, baryon density $\Omega_b h^2 = 0.0224\pm 0.0001$, scalar spectral index $n_s = 0.965\pm 0.004$, and optical depth $\tau = 0.054\pm 0.007$ (in this abstract we quote $68\,\%$ confidence regions on measured parameters and $95\,\%$ on upper limits). The angular acoustic scale is measured to $0.03\,\%$ precision, with $100\theta_*=1.0411\pm 0.0003$. These results are only weakly dependent on the cosmological model and remain stable, with somewhat increased errors, in many commonly considered extensions. Assuming the base-$\Lambda$CDM cosmology, the inferred late-Universe parameters are: Hubble constant $H_0 = (67.4\pm 0.5)$km/s/Mpc; matter density parameter $\Omega_m = 0.315\pm 0.007$; and matter fluctuation amplitude $\sigma_8 = 0.811\pm 0.006$. We find no compelling evidence for extensions to the base-$\Lambda$CDM model. Combining with BAO we constrain the effective extra relativistic degrees of freedom to be $N_{\rm eff} = 2.99\pm 0.17$, and the neutrino mass is tightly constrained to $\sum m_\nu< 0.12$eV. The CMB spectra continue to prefer higher lensing amplitudes than predicted in base -$\Lambda$CDM at over $2\,\sigma$, which pulls some parameters that affect the lensing amplitude away from the base-$\Lambda$CDM model; however, this is not supported by the lensing reconstruction or (in models that also change the background geometry) BAO data.

TopoFisher: Learning Topological Summary Statistics by Maximizing Fisher Information

stat.ML · 2026-05-08 · conditional · novelty 8.0

TopoFisher optimizes trainable filtrations, vectorizations, and compressors in persistent homology to maximize Fisher information, yielding higher information than fixed cosmological summaries and approaching neural baselines with far fewer parameters while generalizing better under simulator shifts

Leptogenesis and Low Reheating Temperatures

hep-ph · 2026-07-09 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Standard non-thermal leptogenesis works at arbitrarily low reheating temperatures above the BBN bound when the inflaton potential has a quartic minimum (k≥4), because the inflaton's evolving mass kinematically shuts off RHN production early.

Axion Misalignment Across First-Order Phase Transitions

hep-ph · 2026-07-01 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Lattice simulations show axion misalignment production splits into two regimes during first-order phase transitions, unified by a semi-analytical relic density formula that also alters isocurvature and small-scale power spectrum.

The effect of dark energy on the void-halo perpendicular alignments

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Numerical simulations across 10 cosmologies reveal stronger perpendicular void-surface halo alignments in models with more dynamic dark energy, quantified by fitted parameter d_t that follows a bilinear relation with w and wa.

UV artefacts in ultra-slow-roll models of inflation

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Hubble-flow models of ultra-slow-roll inflation introduce spurious UV artefacts in the potential that Fourier filtering removes, restoring Wands duality.
