TL;DR: In this paper , the authors focus on the 5.0σ tension between the Planck CMB estimate of the Hubble constant H0 and the SH0ES collaboration measurements and discuss the importance of trying to fit a full array of data with a single model.

Zhe Chang,Xin Li,Sai Wang +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the primordial power spectrum is presented with a dipolar modulation and the privileged plane is obtained by employing the power tensor technique, and the maximum correlation between quadrupole and octopole is shown to be a natural implication of the power spectrum in an anisotropic spacetime.

Cosmological model with local symmetry of very special relativity and constraints on it from supernovae
TL;DR: In this article, an anisotropic modification to the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) line element is proposed and an arbitrarily oriented 1-form is introduced and the FRW spacetime becomes of the Randers-Finsler type.
