abstract
In this work, we present updated observational constraints on the parameter space of the DMS20 dark energy model, a member of the omnipotent dark energy (ODE) class. Our analysis combines multiple CMB datasets - including measurements from the Planck satellite (PL18), the South Pole Telescope (SPT), and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) - with Type Ia supernova data from the Pantheon$+$ catalog (PP), and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements from the DESI and SDSS surveys. We find that certain data combinations, such as SPT+WMAP+BAO and PL18+BAO, can reduce the significance of the $H_0$ tension below $1\sigma$, but with considerably large uncertainties. However, the inclusion of PP data restores the tension in $H_0$. To provide a comprehensive view of the ODE phenomenology, we also investigate the evolution of its energy density, emphasizing its dynamical behavior at low redshifts. Our results generically exhibit multiple phantom divide line crossings in a single expansion history; if confirmed, this points beyond the simplest minimally coupled canonical single-field quintessence/phantom descriptions and motivates more general dark-sector realizations.

Relativistic N-body simulations of Lambda_s CDM produce a redshift-dependent crest in the matter power spectrum ratio, peaking at 20-25% near the transition and leaving a 15-20% uplift at z=0 on group scales.
Bin-wise uncorrelated reconstruction from DESI/SDSS BAO and Pantheon+/Union3.1/DES-Dovekie supernovae yields dark energy density peaking then declining and equation of state oscillating with phantom crossing near z~0.7, consistent across datasets at moderate significance.
A sign-switching dark energy model (Λ_s CDM) recovers positive effective neutrino masses (0.055 ± 0.050 eV) consistent with oscillation data, unlike ΛCDM which prefers negative values (-0.075 eV), for DESI DR2 + CMB + supernova fits with z_† > 2.4.
Evidence for dynamical dark energy in the w0waCDM framework is strongly dataset-dependent, driven by mismatches in low-redshift BAO distance ratios that produce divergent expansion histories and inconsistent Hubble tension relief.
Dynamical dark energy remains preferred across extended models while curvature, neutrino mass and inflation parameters show strong model dependence, with no resolution of the H0 tension.
Exponential IR f(T) gravity Model I alleviates Hubble tension but is disfavoured by combined Planck/ACT/SPT+DESI+Pantheon+ data; Model II is ruled out because background constraints force unphysical shifts in CMB parameters.
Axion EDE model fitted to Planck/ACT/SPT CMB, DESI BAO, and JWST UV luminosity function data yields H0 = 71.58 ± 1.05 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}, reduces H0 tension to 1.0 sigma, and improves Δχ^{2}_tot = -18.26 over Λ CDM.
Perturbative modifications to the electron mass m_e(z) resolve the Hubble tension with Planck+ACT CMB data but cannot when DESI DR2 BAO data are added due to lowered Omega_m.
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.
HDE models with future event horizon IR cutoff partially ease the Hubble tension while Hubble-scale cutoffs do not, consistent across six models and multiple BAO/SN/CMB combinations.
Review of DESI evidence for dynamical dark energy, its dependence on parametrization and datasets, and alternative beyond-LambdaCDM interpretations that may address cosmological tensions.
