Negative cosmological constant in the dark sector?
read the original abstract
We consider the possibility that the dark sector of our Universe contains a negative cosmological constant dubbed $\lambda$. For such models to be viable, the dark sector should contain an additional component responsible for the late-time accelerated expansion rate ($X$). We explore the departure of the expansion history of these models from the concordance $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter model. For a large class of our models the accelerated expansion is transient with a nontrivial dependence on the model parameters. All models with $w_X>-1$ will eventually contract and we derive an analytical expression for the scale factor $a(t)$ in the neighborhood of its maximal value. We find also the scale factor for models ending in a Big Rip in the regime where dustlike matter density is negligible compared to $\lambda$. We address further the viability of such models, in particular when a high $H_0$ is taken into account. While we find no decisive evidence for a nonzero $\lambda$, the best models are obtained with a phantom behavior on redshifts $z\gtrsim 1$ with a higher evidence for nonzero $\lambda$. An observed value for $h$ substantially higher than $0.70$ would be a decisive test of their viability.

Nonlinear Matter Power Spectrum from relativistic $N$-body Simulations: $\Lambda_{\rm s}$CDM versus $\Lambda$CDM
Relativistic N-body simulations of Lambda_s CDM produce a redshift-dependent crest in the matter power spectrum ratio, peaking at 20-25% near the transition and leaving a 15-20% uplift at z=0 on group scales.

Probing Dynamical Dark Energy with Late-Time Data: Evidence, Tensions, and the Limits of the $w_0w_a$CDM Framework
Evidence for dynamical dark energy in the w0waCDM framework is strongly dataset-dependent, driven by mismatches in low-redshift BAO distance ratios that produce divergent expansion histories and inconsistent Hubble te...

What it takes to solve the Hubble tension through Modifications of Cosmological Recombination II: in light of ACT DR6 and DESI DR2
Perturbative modifications to the electron mass m_e(z) resolve the Hubble tension with Planck+ACT CMB data but cannot when DESI DR2 BAO data are added due to lowered Omega_m.
