abstract

In Adil et al. 2023, we reported an increasing trend in $S_8$ with effective redshift $z_{\textrm{eff}}$ based on $f \sigma_8(z)$ constraints over the redshift range $0 \lesssim z \lesssim 2$, and predicted that this trend would be observable in independent datasets. Recently, the studies by Artis et al. and the ACT+DESI collaboration appeared, presenting data that aligns with the expected trends. In this letter, we quantify the statistical significance of the increasing $S_8$ trends in recent studies by fitting a linear model to estimate the slope $\Delta\,S_8/\Delta\, z_{\textrm{eff}}$, and comparing the results to mock simulations. We find probabilities of $p = 0.0163$ and $p = 0.01893$, corresponding to approximately $2.1\sigma$ for each dataset. Using Fisher's method to combine the independent probabilities, we obtained $p=0.0027$ ($2.8 \sigma$). When we incorporate our earlier findings, the combined statistical significance reaches between $3\sigma$ and $3.7\sigma$. Finally, we discuss how ``scatter" in $\sigma_8$/$S_8$ constraints from recent DESI full-shape galaxy clustering fits this picture at low statistical significance. This letter continues a series of studies initiated in 2020 that explore redshift-dependent $\Lambda$CDM parameters as an indication of a breakdown in the standard cosmological model.

  1. Background-level reconstruction of scalar-field potentials from dark-energy histories and comparison with analytic potential families

    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.

  2. Testing Scale-Dependent Suppression of Structure Growth in the Linear Regime

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A combined fit of galaxy-growth, supernova, and CMB data finds at most a weak 2.2σ hint for scale-dependent suppression of structure growth, with an inconclusive Bayes factor.

  3. Challenging $\Lambda$CDM: 5$\sigma$ Evidence for a Dynamical Dark Energy Late-Time Transition

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Fitting a step transition in dark energy's equation of state to Planck+DESI DR2+DESY5 data gives a reported ~5 sigma preference for a phantom-to-quintessence transition at z about 0.49.

    gr-qc 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Updated constraints on the DMS20 dark energy model from CMB, BAO, and Pantheon+ data keep it consistent with Lambda CDM while generically producing two phantom-divide crossings; the H0 tension is reduced only with enl...

  5. Illustrating the consequences of a misuse of $\sigma_8$ in cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Cosmologists should compare clustering amplitude with the h-independent statistic sigma_12 instead of sigma_8, because sigma_8's smoothing scale shifts with H0 and artificially worsens the growth tension in high-H0 models.

  6. DESI and SNe: Dynamical Dark Energy, $\Omega_m$ Tension or Systematics?

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Reconstructing Ωm from DESI's w0waCDM fits shows an SNe-driven low-redshift departure from ΛCDM, with a 3.4σ disagreement between a DES supernova subsample and DESI full-shape clustering at the same effective redshift.
