Recent observational data seem to show a $\gtrsim 3\sigma$ evidence for an evolving dark energy (DE) against the cosmological constant, so the standard $\Lambda$CDM model. In this paper, we perform the search for the primordial gravitational waves with the potential pre-recombination solutions to the Hubble tension, using recent DESI baryon acoustic oscillation measurements combined with BICEP/Keck cosmic microwave background (CMB) B-mode polarization, Planck CMB and Pantheon supernova data, which reveal that the low bound of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ is $> 1.5\sigma$ non-zero with the bestfit $r_{0.05}\sim 0.01$ and the scalar spectral index $n_s= 1$ (both $|r_{0.05}-0.01|$ and $|n_s-1|\sim {\cal O} (0.001)$). In particular, we observe the unnoticed impact of CMB B-mode polarization data for constraining the nature of DE, which together with early dark energy solutions to the Hubble tension is calling for the return of post-recombination $\Lambda$CDM.

  1. Unifying Early and Late Dark Energy: Dynamical Requirements and Obstructions

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Any unified early and late dark energy scenario with a single tracking scalar field requires a potential with three distinct slopes arranged in a steep-steeper-shallow hierarchy.

  2. DeepInflation: an AI agent for research and model discovery of inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    An LLM agent with symbolic regression finds simple inflation potentials that match target CMB observables, but the outputs are fitted to the targets rather than independently predicted.

  3. Harrison-Zeldovich attractor: From Planck to ACT results

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    Nonminimal derivative coupling realizes the Harrison-Zeldovich attractor for monomial, hilltop, and α-attractor E-models, pulling them to the scale-invariant spectrum suggested by ACT data.

  4. Running into tension: primordial black holes from ultra-slow-roll inflation, spectral running, and the Hubble tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    EDE models increase inferred α_s from CMB data, strengthening tension with USR PBH models that predict negative running.
