The standard $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter cosmological model provides a wonderful fit to current cosmological data, but a few tensions and anomalies became statistically significant with the latest data analyses. While these anomalies could be due to the presence of systematic errors in the experiments, they could also indicate the need for new physics beyond the standard model. In this Letter of Interest we focus on the tension of the Planck data with weak lensing measurements and redshift surveys, about the value of the matter energy density $\Omega_m$, and the amplitude or rate of the growth of structure ($\sigma_8,f\sigma_8$). We list a few interesting models for solving this tension, and we discuss the importance of trying to fit with a single model a full array of data and not just one parameter at a time.

  3. Hubble tension: the shape wall

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Late-time modifications to the expansion history can raise H0 by at most about 2% (conservative) to 3.7% (permissive) if the CMB acoustic scale is fixed.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

  6. Revisiting observational constraints on coupled exponential quintessence with energy and momentum transfers: degeneracy with massive neutrinos

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Allowing the neutrino mass to vary removes the 2σ evidence for momentum transfer between dark energy and dark matter in coupled quintessence, via a degeneracy with the energy-exchange coupling.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    KiDS-Legacy weak lensing plus CMB data yields a 3 sigma deviation in light deflection from GR in a Lambda CDM background, with the signal driven by large-scale CMB lensing amplitudes.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    In momentum-exchange dark sector models, the suppression of matter clustering moves to smaller scales as w→−1 due to velocity locking, and ignoring DE perturbations erases this effect.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

  12. Non-Primordial Contribution to the Cosmic Microwave Background

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Planck CMB anisotropy data allow up to roughly 3–5% of the CMB energy density to come from high-redshift dust, while excluding a fully non-primordial CMB at very high significance.

  15. Do equation of state parametrizations of dark energy faithfully capture the dynamics of the late universe?

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0
