abstract

New Early Dark Energy introduces a new phase of dark energy that decays in a fast-triggered phase transition around matter-radiation equality. The presence of a trigger mechanism sets it apart from other early dark energy models. Here, we will argue that New Early Dark Energy offers a simple and natural framework to extend $\Lambda$CDM while also providing a pathway to resolving the $H_0$ tension alongside its smaller cousin, the $S_8$ tension. At the microscopic level, we discuss the possibility that the trigger is either given by an ultralight scalar field or a dark sector temperature. In both cases, it prompts the transition of an $\mathrm{eV}$-mass scalar field from its false to its true minimum. Furthermore, we argue that the same phase transition could give rise to a dynamic process for generating neutrino masses.

  1. Boiling After the Dust Settles: Constraining First-Order Phase Transitions During Dark Energy Domination

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    CMB anisotropies from stochastic bubble nucleation constrain late-time phase transitions to release less than ~1% of dark energy when β/H⋆≲25, much tighter than Hubble-budget limits.

  2. The $H_0$ world cup. II. A comprehensive competition between proposed Hubble tension solutions

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Against a common 2025-26 dataset (Planck PR4, ACT DR6, SPT-3G, DESI DR2, Pantheon+), early dark energy and early modified gravity models win the H0 competition (~3σ residual tension), while radiation and late-time sol...

  3. The $H_0$ World Cup. I. Summary of the baseline group stage results

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a systematic head-to-head analysis, early dark energy and early modified gravity models reduce the Hubble tension to about 3σ and are favored over ΛCDM, while radiation and late-time alternatives are not.

  4. Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Fundamental Physics and Galactic Habitability

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Under multiverse assumptions, most habitability-condition combinations are incompatible with our observed constants, and flexible GUTs, freeze-out dark matter with high-energy baryogenesis, and some galactic disruptio...

  5. The Hubble tension: A decade review

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    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.

  6. Beyond LambdaCDM: How the Hubble tension challenges early universe physics

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 reject novelty 2.0 of 10

    An Early Dark Energy model can fit H0=73.56 km/s/Mpc only with a high EDE fraction and high peak redshift, while Bayesian evidence favors the model only in a narrow, finely-tuned parameter space.
