abstract

The existence of ultralight axion (ULA) with mass $\mathcal{O}( 10^{-26}\text{eV})$ is not favored by the CMB observations in the standard $\Lambda$CDM model. We show that the inclusion of early dark energy (EDE) will lift the CMB-lockdown on such ULA, and possibly other forms of dark matter beyond cold dark matter. By performing Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis, it is found that, as opposed to $\Lambda$CDM, the AdS-EDE cosmology (with an Anti-de Sitter phase around recombination) now allows the existence of axion with mass $10^{-26}$ eV and predicts $6\%$ of the matter in our Universe to be such ULA, which can also help alleviating the $S_8$ tension in EDE.

    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.

    BOSS full-shape data do not tighten Planck bounds on velocity-dependent dark matter-baryon scattering, but adding a DES S8 prior yields a greater than 2 sigma preference for a velocity-independent cross section and lo...

    A doubly holographic dS2 model has a third extremal surface whose dominance creates a phase transition, but the surface's geodesic length can be negative.
