abstract

Baryon acoustic oscillation data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) show evidence of a deviation from a cosmological constant $\Lambda$ within a Bayesian analysis. In this work, we validate that frequentist constraints from profile likelihoods on the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder parameters $w_0$, $w_a$ are in excellent agreement with the Bayesian constraints when combining with Planck cosmic microwave background, Planck and Atacama Cosmology Telescope lensing, and either Pantheon+ or Dark Energy Survey Y5 supernova data. Further, we assess which datasets drive these constraints by considering the contributions to the $\chi^2$ from the individual datasets. For profile likelihoods of the matter fraction $\Omega_\mathrm{m}$, such an investigation shows internal inconsistencies when assuming $\Lambda$, which are resolved when assuming a $w_0w_a$ dark-energy model. We infer the equations of state $w(z)$ at the pivot redshifts, supporting previous interpretations that current data appears to be more sensitive to the derivative of $w(z)$ rather than a mean offset from $\Lambda$. Thus our frequentist analysis corroborates previous findings on dynamical DE.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Including dark-energy perturbations shifts cosmological neutrino-mass constraints toward smaller effective masses, making the dynamical-dark-energy alleviation of the neutrino-mass tension non-generic.

  3. Dark energy perturbations and the robustness of cosmological neutrino-mass constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dynamical dark energy with perturbations reverses the alleviation of neutrino mass tension seen in smooth models, preferring smaller masses due to degeneracies in growth data from CMB, BAO, RSD, and supernovae.

    Relativistic N-body simulations of Lambda_s CDM produce a redshift-dependent crest in the matter power spectrum ratio, peaking at 20-25% near the transition and leaving a 15-20% uplift at z=0 on group scales.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Under standard recombination, phantom-crossing dynamical dark energy is preferred at ~97–98.5% probability; early-time fixes to the Hubble tension erase that preference while creating severe ω_m tension with CMB.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    A background reconstruction maps prescribed ρ_de(z) histories to V(φ) and ranks analytic potentials by Bayesian evidence, with exponential preferred for CPL and shifted-tanh for sign-switching targets.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A QCD-vacuum dark-energy model with a two-parameter switch reproduces the DESI-preferred late-time expansion and is mildly favoured over ΛCDM by Bayesian evidence (lnB≈2.7).

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Removing Planck's low-ℓ EE polarization data shifts A_s and τ_reio upward and makes three dark-energy parameterizations look more quintessence-like, with model-selection evidence depending on the dataset and prior.
