A sign-switching dark-sector coupling, fitted to CMB, DESI BAO, and supernova data, can simultaneously raise H0 and lower S8, but the preference over LambdaCDM depends on using SH0ES-calibrated supernovae.

abstract
We study a coupled dark energy-dark matter model in which the energy-momentum exchange is proportional to the Hubble expansion rate. The inclusion of its perturbation is required by gauge invariance. We derive the linear perturbation equations for the gauge invariant energy density contrast and velocity of the coupled fluids, and we determine the initial conditions. The latter turn out to be adiabatic for dark energy, when assuming adiabatic initial conditions for all the standard fluids. We perform a full Monte Carlo Markov Chain likelihood analysis of the model, using WMAP 7-year data.

Sign Switching in Dark Sector Coupling Interactions as a Candidate for Resolving Cosmological Tensions
A sign-switching dark-sector coupling, fitted to CMB, DESI BAO, and supernova data, can simultaneously raise H0 and lower S8, but the preference over LambdaCDM depends on using SH0ES-calibrated supernovae.
