abstract
We investigate the cosmological applications of new gravitational scalar-tensor theories and we analyze them in the light of $H_0$ tension. In these theories the Lagrangian contains the Ricci scalar and its first and second derivatives in a specific combination that makes them free of ghosts, thus corresponding to healthy bi-scalar extensions of general relativity. We examine two specific models, and for particular choices of the model parameters we find that the effect of the additional terms is negligible at high redshifts, obtaining a coincidence with $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, however as time passes the deviation increases and thus at low redshifts the Hubble parameter acquires increased values ($H_0\approx 74 km/s/Mpc$) in a controlled way. The mechanism behind this behavior is the fact that the effective dark-energy equation-of-state parameter exhibits phantom behavior, which implies faster expansion, which is one of the theoretical requirements that are capable of alleviating the $H_0$ tension. Lastly, we confront the models with Cosmic Chronometer (CC) data showing full agreement within 1$\sigma$ confidence level.

Early- and late-time constraints on Wald-Gauss-Bonnet topological dark energy and implications for the $H_0$ and $S_8$ tensions
A joint CMB, BAO, and supernova fit mildly prefers a non-zero Wald-Gauss-Bonnet dark-energy term (~3σ with SH0ES included), raising H0 from 68.5 to 69.8 km/s/Mpc and easing the Hubble tension by ~0.9σ at the cost of a...

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 connection between Gravitational Scalar-Tensor theories and Generalized Hybrid theories
GST theories linear in □R are dynamically equivalent to generalized hybrid f(R,ℛ) models via a shared Einstein-frame bi-scalar representation that supplies an explicit reconstruction dictionary.

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.

Decay of dark energy into dark matter in a metric $f(R)$ gravity: effective running Hubble constant
A metric f(R) gravity model with dark energy decaying into dark matter produces a running Hubble constant that tracks the binned supernova decline better than a power law, but the fit is poor and does not resolve the ...
