I show how Markov chain sampling with the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm can be modified so as to take bigger steps when the distribution being sampled from has the characteristic that its density can be quickly recomputed for a new point if this point differs from a previous point only with respect to a subset of 'fast' variables. I show empirically that when using this method, the efficiency of sampling for the remaining 'slow' variables can approach what would be possible using Metropolis updates based on the marginal distribution for the slow variables.

Automatic detection of fast oscillations of dark matter scalar field and updated cosmological constraints on QCDM
An automatic algorithm in the CLASS Boltzmann code detects the onset of rapid oscillations in scalar-field dark matter and enables accurate averaging even with dark matter-dark energy interactions; updated QCDM constr...

ALAverse: A falsifiable anthropic model from the string landscape
Anthropically selected string axion plus negative vacuum energy predicts a ~40% chance of the observed matter/dark-energy balance and an accelerating-thawing dark energy that current CMB+BAO+SN data prefer over ΛCDM at 2.7σ.

Observational constraints on 3-forms dark energy
Fitting a Gaussian-potential 3-form dark-energy model to Planck, DESI, Pantheon+, Cepheid and DES data shifts H0 up by only ~0.4 km/s/Mpc and yields a weak statistical preference over ΛCDM.

Cosmological tensions in Proca-Nuevo theory
Fitting a one-parameter vector-tensor dark energy model to CMB, BAO, and supernova data reduces the Hubble tension to about 1.5–2σ, but the preference over ΛCDM is weak and disappears once full perturbations are included.

Probing the limits of cosmological information from the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest 2-point correlation functions
Using idealized synthetic data, knowing the true continuum in Lyα forest auto- and cross-correlations reduces uncertainties on the AP parameter and Ω_m by ~10%, with extension to 240 h^{-1}Mpc scales adding up to ~15%...

Upper limits on dark energy-dark matter interaction from DESI DR2 in a field-theoretic analysis
A field-theoretic calculation finds that dark energy and dark matter interact only very weakly, and DESI data rule out the strong-interaction regime that would change quintessence behavior.

Thawing Quintessence: Priors, evidence, and likely trajectories
Bayesian evidence from DESI DR2 BAO, Planck+ACT CMB, and multiple supernova samples favors thawing quintessence over a cosmological constant.

Inflation at the End of 2025: Constraints on $r$ and $n_s$ Using the Latest CMB and BAO Data
New Planck+SPT+ACT+BICEP/Keck constraints give n_s=0.9682±0.0032, r<0.034; adding DESI shifts n_s to 0.9728±0.0029, favoring monomial over Starobinsky inflation.

Cosmology of axion dark energy in supersymmetric models and constraints on high scale parameters
A two-cosine axion dark energy potential fits CMB+BAO+supernova data better than the standard one-cosine potential, while preferring a sub-Planckian decay constant and a feeble dark-matter coupling.

Resolving the Planck-DESI tension by nonminimally coupled quintessence
Non-minimally coupled quintessence resolves the Planck-DESI Ω_m tension at >3σ while the effective equation of state stays above w=-1 and other tensions on neutrino mass and growth rate are relieved.

Updated Constraints on Omnipotent Dark Energy: A Comprehensive Analysis with CMB and BAO Data
Updated constraints on the DMS20 dark energy model from CMB, BAO, and Pantheon+ data keep it consistent with Lambda CDM while generically producing two phantom-divide crossings; the H0 tension is reduced only with enl...

Illustrating the consequences of a misuse of $\sigma_8$ in cosmology
Cosmologists should compare clustering amplitude with the h-independent statistic sigma_12 instead of sigma_8, because sigma_8's smoothing scale shifts with H0 and artificially worsens the growth tension in high-H0 models.
