Multipole decomposition of the general luminosity distance 'Hubble law' -- a new framework for observational cosmology
read the original abstract
We present the luminosity distance series expansion to third order in redshift for a general space-time with no assumption on the metric tensor or the field equations prescribing it. It turns out that the coefficients of this general 'Hubble law' can be expressed in terms of a finite number of physically interpretable multipole coefficients. The multipole terms can be combined into effective direction dependent parameters replacing the Hubble constant, deceleration parameter, curvature parameter, and 'jerk' parameter of the Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) class of metrics. Due to the finite number of multipole coefficients, the exact anisotropic Hubble law is given by 9, 25, 61 degrees of freedom in the $\mathcal{O}(z)$, $\mathcal{O}(z^2)$, $\mathcal{O}(z^3)$ vicinity of the observer respectively, where $z\!:=\,$redshift. This makes possible model independent determination of dynamical degrees of freedom of the cosmic neighbourhood of the observer and direct testing of the FLRW ansatz. We argue that the derived multipole representation of the general Hubble law provides a new framework with broad applications in observational cosmology.

Model-independent constraints on generalized FLRW consistency relations with bootstrap-based symbolic regression
Bootstrap-based symbolic regression on supernova and BAO data finds mild 2-4 sigma deviations from FLRW consistency relations, which if real would rule out most FLRW-based solutions to cosmological tensions.

Model-independent constraints on generalized FLRW consistency relations with bootstrap-based symbolic regression
Bootstrap symbolic regression of SN+BAO data yields mild 2–4σ FLRW consistency deviations and a density field still compatible with both Planck and SH0ES ΛCDM.

On the potential for inhomogeneities to mimic an evolving dark energy
Numerical simulations show that inhomogeneities in a LambdaCDM universe can lead some observers to infer evolving dark energy parameters consistent with DESI at 2-sigma.

Updates on dipolar anisotropy in local measurements of the Hubble constant from Cosmicflows-4
Local Hubble constant anisotropy in Cosmicflows-4 data is primarily attributed to peculiar velocities and survey structure rather than cosmic-scale isotropy violation, with limited implications for the Hubble tension.

Cosmological peculiar velocities in general relativity
The 1+3 covariant formalism reproduces the standard result for peculiar velocity growth in cosmology and does not imply anomalous bulk flows or apparent acceleration.
