abstract
The early dark energy (EDE) solution to the Hubble tension comes at the cost of an increased clustering amplitude that has been argued to worsen the fit to galaxy clustering data. We explore whether freeing the total neutrino mass $M_{\nu}$, which can suppress small-scale structure growth, improves EDE's fit to galaxy clustering. Using Planck Cosmic Microwave Background and BOSS galaxy clustering data, a Bayesian analysis shows that freeing $M_{\nu}$ does not appreciably increase the inferred EDE fraction $f_{\rm EDE}$: we find the 95% C.L. upper limits $f_{\rm EDE}<0.092$ and $M_{\nu}<0.15\,{\rm eV}$. Similarly, in a frequentist profile likelihood setting (where our results support previous findings that prior volume effects are important), we find that the baseline EDE model (with $M_{\nu}=0.06\,{\rm eV}$) provides the overall best fit. For instance, compared to baseline EDE, a model with $M_\nu=0.24\,{\rm eV}$ maintains the same $H_0$(km/s/Mpc)=(70.08, 70.11, respectively) whilst decreasing $S_8$=(0.837, 0.826) to the $\Lambda$CDM level, but worsening the fit significantly by $\Delta \chi^2=7.5$. For the datasets used, these results are driven not by the clustering amplitude, but by background modifications to the late-time expansion rate due to massive neutrinos, which worsen the fit to measurements of the BAO scale.

Hubble tension: the shape wall
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.

BAO miscalibration cannot rescue late-time solutions to the Hubble tension
Even after rescaling BAO data to prefer H0≈73 km/s/Mpc, none of six tested late-time dark-energy models can resolve the Hubble tension once unanchored SNeIa and CMB geometry are included.

$\Lambda$CDM and early dark energy in latent space: a data-driven parametrization of the CMB temperature power spectrum
A variational autoencoder compresses CMB temperature spectra into 5 (LambdaCDM) or 8 (with early dark energy) latent parameters that reconstruct the data within Planck errors and can be constrained with Planck observations.

The $H_0$ World Cup. I. Summary of the baseline group stage results
In a systematic head-to-head analysis, early dark energy and early modified gravity models reduce the Hubble tension to about 3σ and are favored over ΛCDM, while radiation and late-time alternatives are not.

Can the universe experience an AdS landscape since matter-radiation equality?
A universe with an AdS (negative cosmological constant) phase at recombination and another at low redshift is compatible with Planck, DESI, Pantheon Plus and SH0ES data, though not preferred by them.

Is Phantom Divide Crossing in General Relativity Completely Impossible? Shortcomings in canonical and minimally coupled scalar field and Possible Solutions in $k$-essence Models
Phantom-to-quintessence crossing is impossible for a canonical scalar field, but can be engineered in finely-tuned k-essence theories where ghost instabilities are suppressed by a chosen kinetic coefficient.
