The first three seconds: a review of possible expansion histories of the early universe

R Allahverdi, MA Amin, A Berlin, N Bernal… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
It is commonly assumed that the energy density of the Universe was dominated by radiation

Neutrino puzzle: Anomalies, interactions, and cosmological tensions

CD Kreisch, FY Cyr-Racine, O Doré - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
New physics in the neutrino sector might be necessary to address anomalies between

Is the Hubble tension a hint of AdS phase around recombination?

G Ye, YS Piao - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacua, being theoretically important, might have an unexpected impact
on the observable Universe. We find that in early dark energy (EDE) scenarios the existence …

A CMB search for the neutrino mass mechanism and its relation to the Hubble tension

M Escudero, SJ Witte - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
The majoron, a pseudo-Goldstone boson arising from the spontaneous breaking of global
