abstract
Many attempts to solve the Hubble tension with extended cosmological models combine an enhanced relic radiation density, acting at the level of background cosmology, with new physical ingredients affecting the evolution of cosmological perturbations. Several authors have pointed out the ability of combined Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) data to probe the background cosmological history independently of both CMB maps and supernovae data. Using state-of-the-art assumptions on BBN, we confirm that combined BAO, deuterium, and helium data are in tension with the SH0ES measurements under the $\Lambda$CDM assumption at the 3.2$\sigma$ level, while being in close agreement with the CMB value. We subsequently show that floating the radiation density parameter $N_\mathrm{eff}$ only reduces the tension down to the 2.6$\sigma$ level. This conclusion, totally independent of any CMB data, shows that a high $N_\mathrm{eff}$ accounting for extra relics (either free-streaming or self-interacting) does not provide an obvious solution to the crisis, not even at the level of background cosmology. To circumvent this strong bound, (i) the extra radiation has to be generated after BBN to avoid helium bounds, and (ii) additional ingredients have to be invoked at the level of perturbations to reconcile this extra radiation with CMB and LSS data.

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.

A sound horizon independent measurement of $H_0$ from BOSS, DESI and DES Y3
Combining BOSS power spectrum and bispectrum with DESI and DES lensing data yields a sound-horizon-free H0 = 70.2 ± 2.3 km/s/Mpc, with a 1.8σ BAO scale deviation that is scale-cut dependent.

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.

The simple way to measure evolving dark energy without prior-volume effects
Absorbing the AP and growth amplitudes into EFTofLSS nuisance parameters removes prior-volume shifts and yields Stage III LSS-only evolving dark energy constraints aligned with DESI.

Cosmology from Planck CMB Lensing and DESI DR1 Quasar Tomography
DESI DR1 quasars cross-correlated with Planck PR4 lensing give sigma8 = 0.929 and S8 = 0.922, about 1.5 sigma above Planck's LCDM prediction, and a sound-horizon-free H0 = 69.1 km/s/Mpc.

Mitigating Model Misspecification in Simulation-Based Inference for Galaxy Clustering
A two-step method (coefficient pruning plus learned robust transformation) fixes model misspecification in the SimBIG wavelet-scattering analysis of BOSS galaxy clustering and produces tight Lambda-CDM constraints.

Modelling Galaxy Clustering and Tomographic Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing with HSC Y3 and SDSS using the Point-Mass Correction Model and Redshift Self-Calibration
Combining SDSS clustering with HSC Y3 galaxy-galaxy lensing, with a point-mass correction down to 2 Mpc/h, gives S8 = 0.804 ± 0.051 and self-calibrated redshift shifts for the two highest source bins.

The Hubble tension: A decade review
Pure early or late fixes to the Hubble tension are tightly constrained; remaining options are combined early-late interacting dark energy or new physics at the local-to-homogeneous transition.
