AI Infers a Simulated Universe’s History From Today’s Matter

A three-dimensional neural network inferred averaged cosmological quantities from present-day simulated matter maps, including parameters linked to curvature and backreaction. Its predictions tracked the simulations closely, but the study is only a proof of principle because the training data were too simplified for sensible use on observations.

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.
