Model Independent Reconstruction of the Expansion History of the Universe and the Properties of Dark Energy
read the original abstract
We have improved upon the method of smoothing supernovae data to reconstruct the expansion history of the universe, h(z), using two latest datasets, Gold and SNLS. The reconstruction process does not employ any parameterization and is independent of any dark energy model. The reconstructed h(z) is used to derive the distance factor "A" up to redshift 0.35 and the results are compared with the given value of "A" from detection of baryon acoustic oscillation peak (BAO). We find very good agreement between supernovae observations and the results from BAO for \Omega_{0m} \approx 0.276 \pm 0.023. The estimated values of \Omega_{0m} are completely model-independent and are only based on observational data. The derived values of \Omega_{0m} are then used to reconstruct the equation of state of dark energy, w(z). Using our smoothing method we can demonstrate that while SNLS data are in very good agreement with LCDM, the Gold sample slightly prefers evolving dark energy. We also show that proper estimation of the equation of state of dark energy at the high redshifts would be impossible at the current status of observations.

Geometric Constraints on the Pre-Recombination Expansion History from the Hubble Tension
Model-independent reconstruction shows that early-universe modifications resolving the Hubble tension exist at the background level, requiring a smooth ~15% pre-recombination expansion rate enhancement.

Do equation of state parametrizations of dark energy faithfully capture the dynamics of the late universe?
Node-based reconstruction of cosmic expansion prefers stronger deceleration at z≈1.7 than smooth DE EoS parametrizations, isolating z~1.5-2 as a window where the latter may compress localized kinematic features permit...
