abstract
The value of the Hubble constant determined from CMB and BAO measurements is directly dependent on the sound horizon at the photon-baryon decoupling. There has been significant interest in the possibility of new physics at the epoch around recombination that could reduce the sound horizon and increase the inferred value of $H_0$, thus helping to relieve the Hubble tension. One way to determine if new physics is required would be to measure $H_0$ from BAO and CMB without assuming any model for computing the sound horizon. In this study, we use the recently released DESI Year 1 BAO data combined with the CMB acoustic scale and the Planck $\Lambda$CDM prior on $\Omega_{\rm m} h^2$ to determine $H_0$ while treating the sound horizon at baryon decoupling $r_{\rm d}$ as a free parameter. We find $H_0=69.48 \pm 0.94$ km/s/Mpc, which is $\sim2\sigma$ larger than $H_0 = 67.44 \pm 0.47$ km/s/Mpc in the Planck-best-fit $\Lambda$CDM where $r_{\rm d}$ is derived using the standard recombination model. For comparison, we perform the same analysis using the pre-DESI BAO data with the CMB acoustic scale and the same prior on $\Omega_{\rm m} h^2$, finding $H_0= 68.05 \pm 0.94$ km/s/Mpc. This difference derives from the notably larger value of the product $r_{\rm d}h$ measured by DESI. We compare results obtained with and without including the Pantheon Plus sample of uncalibrated supernovae magnitudes in our analysis. Future BAO data from DESI will help determine if the cosmological model at the epoch of recombination model requires a modification.

Impact of DESI BAO Data on Inflationary Parameters: stability against late-time new physics
Using CMB, supernova, and DESI BAO data, this study finds that inflationary parameters n_s and A_s remain stable (shifts under 1%) when SDSS BAO data is replaced by DESI BAO data across several late-time models.

Growth, geometry, and early-universe split of the matter density parameter $\Omega_{\rm m}$
Splitting Ω_m into geometry, growth, and early-universe regimes yields mutually compatible values, yet ΔΩ_m^{geo,early} is 2σ from zero under combined DES, Planck (scale-cut), DESI, Pantheon+, and RSD data.

Modified recombination and the Hubble tension
A selected modified recombination history fitted to Planck and DESI data raises the inferred Hubble constant to about 71 km/s/Mpc, reducing the SH0ES tension to below 2 sigma; a smooth four-parameter shape captures mu...

Joint constraints on $R_h=ct$ cosmology from DESI DR2 BAO, CC, and SN\textit{Ia} Pantheon$^+$ sample
ΛCDM fits the joint DESI DR2 BAO + Pantheon+ + cosmic-chronometer data better than the coasting R_h=ct model, which yields an older universe and a lower fitted H0.

How parameter constraining can influence the mass accretion process of a Black Hole in the Generalized Rastall Gravity Theory ?
In generalized Rastall gravity, accretion of the CBDRM and CDMMA dark energy parameterizations increases the mass of a non-singular black hole over cosmic time, according to the authors' mass-redshift equations.

Reevaluating $H_0$ Tension with Non-Planck CMB and DESI BAO Joint Analysis
Combining WMAP, ACT, or SPT CMB data with DESI BAO data in flat Lambda CDM yields H0 = 68.6-68.9 km/s/Mpc, lowering the Hubble tension with SH0ES to 3.4-3.8 sigma.
