Testing influence of Hubble tension on the early Universe

Abstract The Hubble tension has profoundly shaped modern cosmological research. This study explores its impact on the early-universe physics in the modified emergent dark energy (MEDE) and $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model using Planck PR4, BK18, DESI2024/2025, and supernova samples (Pan+, Union3).

Description
Summary:Abstract The Hubble tension has profoundly shaped modern cosmological research. This study explores its impact on the early-universe physics in the modified emergent dark energy (MEDE) and $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model using Planck PR4, BK18, DESI2024/2025, and supernova samples (Pan+, Union3). First, Hubble constant negligibly affects the tensor-to-scalar ratio ( $$r < 0.031$$ r < 0.031 at 95%C.L.). Inclusion of DESI2025 achieves a 46% uncertainty reduction in key parameters. For CMB power spectra, DESI systematically amplifies TT/BB spectral discrepancies. Second, electron ionization fractions $$X_e(z)$$ X e ( z ) display pronounced deviations from the $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model at $$z=9.17$$ z = 9.17 , suggesting a connection between Hubble tension and reionization history. This finding resonates with JWST measurements on high-redshift galaxy evolution. Future observations, such as 21-cm surveys, are highly anticipated to resolve these tensions by probing early-universe evolution and dark energy interactions.
