Recently, it has been found that complete resolution of the Hubble tension might point to a scale-invariant Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum of primordial scalar perturbation, i.e. $n_s=1$ for $H_0\sim 73$km/s/Mpc. We show that for well-known slow-roll models, if inflation ends by a waterfall instability with respect to another field in the field space while inflaton is still at a deep slow-roll region, $n_s$ can be lifted to $n_s= 1$. A surprise of our result is that with pre-recombination early dark energy, chaotic $\phi^2$ inflation, ruled out by Planck+BICEP/Keck in standard $\Lambda$CDM, can be revived, which is now well within testable region of upcoming cosmic microwave background B-mode experiments.

  1. Unifying Early and Late Dark Energy: Dynamical Requirements and Obstructions

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Any unified early and late dark energy scenario with a single tracking scalar field requires a potential with three distinct slopes arranged in a steep-steeper-shallow hierarchy.

  2. DeepInflation: an AI agent for research and model discovery of inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    An LLM agent with symbolic regression finds simple inflation potentials that match target CMB observables, but the outputs are fitted to the targets rather than independently predicted.

  3. Harrison-Zeldovich attractor: From Planck to ACT results

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    Nonminimal derivative coupling realizes the Harrison-Zeldovich attractor for monomial, hilltop, and α-attractor E-models, pulling them to the scale-invariant spectrum suggested by ACT data.

  4. Running into tension: primordial black holes from ultra-slow-roll inflation, spectral running, and the Hubble tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    EDE models increase inferred α_s from CMB data, strengthening tension with USR PBH models that predict negative running.

  5. Intertwined Constraints in Extended Cosmologies: Dark Energy, Curvature, Neutrinos, and Inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Dynamical dark energy remains preferred across extended models while curvature, neutrino mass and inflation parameters show strong model dependence, with no resolution of the H0 tension.

  6. The Hubble tension: A decade review

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 conditional novelty 3.0

    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.

  7. The Hubble tension: A decade review

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A review summarizing the Hubble tension as a persistent crisis and discussing resolutions via interacting dark energy models that combine early-time and late-time modifications.
