The mismatch between the locally measured expansion rate of the universe and the one inferred from observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) assuming the canonical $\Lambda$CDM model has become the new cornerstone of modern cosmology, and many new-physics set ups are rising to the challenge. Concomitant with the so-called $H_0$ problem, there is evidence of a growing tension between the CMB-preferred value and the local determination of the weighted amplitude of matter fluctuations $S_8$. It would be appealing and compelling if both the $H_0$ and $S_8$ tensions were resolved at once, but as yet none of the proposed new-physics models have done so to a satisfactory degree. Herein, we adopt a systematic approach to investigate the possible interconnection among the free parameters in several classes of models that typify the main theoretical frameworks tackling the tensions on the universe expansion rate and the clustering of matter. Our calculations are carried out using the publicly available Boltzmann solver CAMB in combination with the sampler CosmoMC. We show that even after combining the leading classes of models sampling modifications of both the early and late time universe a simultaneous solution to the $H_0$ and $S_8$ tensions remains elusive.

  1. Geometric Constraints on the Pre-Recombination Expansion History from the Hubble Tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Model-independent reconstruction shows that early-universe modifications resolving the Hubble tension exist at the background level, requiring a smooth ~15% pre-recombination expansion rate enhancement.

  2. Double the axions, half the tension: multi-field early dark energy eases the Hubble tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Two-field axion-like early dark energy reduces Hubble tension to 1.5 sigma residual and improves high-ell CMB fits over single-field models.

  3. Observational Tests for Distinguishing Classes of Cosmological Models

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A new null test is proposed to isolate cosmologies with non-FLRW observational relations by characterizing how they violate curvature-consistency tests of the standard FLRW framework.

  4. Running into tension: primordial black holes from ultra-slow-roll inflation, spectral running, and the Hubble tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    EDE models increase inferred α_s from CMB data, strengthening tension with USR PBH models that predict negative running.

  5. Dissipative Cosmology and the Nature of Dark Energy: Insights from Bulk Viscosity with DESI DR2 observations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Bulk viscous fluid models for dark energy yield improved fits to supernova, BAO, and CMB data over LambdaCDM, especially in the interacting non-minimal case.
