In cosmography, cosmokinetics, and cosmology it is quite common to encounter physical quantities expanded as a Taylor series in the cosmological redshift z. Perhaps the most well-known exemplar of this phenomenon is the Hubble relation between distance and redshift. However, we now have considerable high-z data available, for instance we have supernova data at least back to redshift z=1.75. This opens up the theoretical question as to whether or not the Hubble series (or more generally any series expansion based on the z-redshift) actually converges for large redshift? Based on a combination of mathematical and physical reasoning, we argue that the radius of convergence of any series expansion in z is less than or equal to 1, and that z-based expansions must break down for z>1, corresponding to a universe less than half its current size. Furthermore, we shall argue on theoretical grounds for the utility of an improved parameterization y=z/(1+z). In terms of the y-redshift we again argue that the radius of convergence of any series expansion in y is less than or equal to 1, so that y-based expansions are likely to be good all the way back to the big bang y=1, but that y-based expansions must break down for y<-1, now corresponding to a universe more than twice its current size.

Cosmic microwave background temperature cosmography
Violations of the CMB temperature-redshift law are constrained to percent level by cosmography on SZ and spectroscopic data, with one non-standard parameter sufficient and no advantage from Padé or y-expansions.

Updated 1.1% Precision Values of the Hubble Constant with Corrected Pantheon+ and Dark Energy Survey (DES)-DOVEKIE Type Ia Supernovae
Corrected Pantheon+ and DES-DOVEKIE leave H0DN at H0≈73.1–73.3 km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹ (main baseline 73.264±0.806), so the ~6.4–6.85σ tension with CMB+ΛCDM remains.

Effect of Peak Absolute Magnitude of Type Ia Supernovae and Sound Horizon Values on Hubble Tension using DESI results
