Abstract: (APS)
The idea of a rapid sign-switching cosmological constant (mirror AdS-dS transition) in the late universe at , known as the model, has significantly improved the fit to observational data and provides a promising scenario for alleviating major cosmological tensions, such as the and tensions. However, in the absence of a fully predictive model, implementing this fit required conjecturing that the dynamics of the linear perturbations are governed by general relativity. Recent work embedding the model with the Lagrangian of a type II minimally modified gravity known as VCDM has propelled to a fully predictive model, removing the uncertainty related to the aforementioned assumption; we call this new model . In this work, we demonstrate that not only does fit the data better than the standard model, but the new model, , performs even better in alleviating cosmological tensions while also providing a better fit to the data, including cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations, type Ia supernovae, and cosmic shear measurements. Our findings highlight the framework, particularly the model, as a compelling alternative to the standard model, especially by successfully alleviating the tension. Additionally, these models predict higher values for , indicating enhanced structuring, albeit with lower present-day matter density parameter values and consequently reduced values, alleviating the tension as well. This demonstrates that the data are well fit by a combination of background and linear perturbations, both having dynamics differing from those of . This paves the way for further exploration of new ways for embedding the sign-switching cosmological constant into other models.Note:
