DESI analysis finds a weak hint of changing cosmic matter density

A modeling study of DESI Full-Shape constraints finds a modest upward trend in the matter-density parameter across redshift, while current model comparisons leave the changing and constant pictures statistically indistinguishable. Forecasts suggest stronger support could emerge if future DESI errors shrink and the pattern holds.

Preprint reports lattice effects alter predictions for a pulsar-timing signal

A numerical preprint reports that nonperturbative lattice evolution changes predicted scalar-induced gravitational-wave spectra in the high-amplitude part of a selected inflation model. The result also shifts the model comparison with selected NANOGrav pulsar-timing data, but remains bounded by a finite scan, finite lattice and chosen inference assumptions.

Preprint finds a 5.4% mismatch between two BAO catalogues

An arXiv methods preprint says comparing radial and transverse BAO measurements can expose a constant calibration offset that transverse-only fits cannot see. It reports a 5.4% difference between two SDSS transverse catalogues and unusually large scatter in the MM compilation, while interpreting the pattern as a calibration and error-model problem rather than new physics.
