EDITORS' SUGGESTION

BAO-CMB tension and implications for inflation

Elisa G. M. Ferreira, Evan McDonough, Lennart Balkenhol, Renata Kallosh, Lloyd Knox, and Andrei Linde

Phys. Rev. D 113, 043524 (2026) - Published 18 February, 2026

An apparent shift in the value of an important inflation parameter may be an artifact of differences between cosmological datasets.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Constraints on the polarization angle oscillations of the Crab Nebula with the Simons Array and its applications to the search for axionlike particles

Tylor Adkins et al. (POLARBEAR Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. D 113, 043044 (2026) - Published 20 February, 2026

The Crab nebula is a calibration source for millimeter telescopes. The authors study the time variability of this calibration source with the Simons Array to put constraints on axion-like particles that would result in a time variation in the polarization. While they do not see any evidence of a signal, they are able to set competitive limits on these axion-like particles, which is similar to other experiments such as pulsar timing.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

BAO miscalibration cannot rescue late-time solutions to the Hubble tension

Davide Pedrotti, Luis A. Escamilla, Valerio Marra, Leandros Perivolaropoulos, and Sunny Vagnozzi

Phys. Rev. D 113, 043507 (2026) - Published 6 February, 2026

The authors demonstrate that, even if fiducial cosmology assumptions cause Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurements to bias low low-redshift acoustic angular scales, this cannot make post-recombination solutions to the Hubble tension plausible. Thus any such biases cannot be potential loopholes to this tension.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A measurement of galaxy cluster temperatures through relativistic corrections to the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect

William R. Coulton et al.

Phys. Rev. D 113, 043520 (2026) - Published 18 February, 2026

The authors use the relativistic thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect in data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and Planck to measure the average electron temperature in galaxy-cluster stacks, thus paving the way for dramatic measurement improvements in upcoming survey data.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Scattering gravitons off general spinning compact objects to $O (G^{2} S^{4})$

Dogan Akpinar

Phys. Rev. D 113, 045003 (2026) - Published 3 February, 2026

The author computed the gravitational amplitude describing the scattering of a graviton oﬀ a massive spinning compact object at the second order expansion in Newton’s constant G (post-Minkowskian expansion), including terms through the quartic order in spin. The spin-induced non-minimal interactions were included in the calculation, thus capturing spin-induced finite-size eﬀects associated with generic compact objects. From the scattering amplitude, the author extracted the scattering phase in momentum space.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Generalized Schur partition functions and RG flows

Anirudh Deb and Shlomo S. Razamat

Phys. Rev. D 113, 045011 (2026) - Published 11 February, 2026

The authors observe through technically challenging calculations a curious relation for a generalized Schur partition function, a special index that counts certain supersymmetric states in N=2 superconformal theories, they introduce. This generalization is parametrized by a continuous parameter, and for certain discrete parameters, one obtains partition functions of different theories, leading to the conjecture that the partition functions of different SCFTs related by RG flows are mapped into one another under nontrivial transformations of that parameter, which remains to be explained.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

LETTER

Spread complexity rate as proper momentum

Pawel Caputa, Bowen Chen, Ross W. McDonald, Joan Simón, and Benjamin Strittmatter

Phys. Rev. D 113, L041901 (2026) - Published 11 February, 2026

As yet another manifestation of the holographic duality, it was proposed that the rate of growth of complexity of quantum states in a one-dimensional theory (Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model) is proportional to the radial momentum of massive particles in the dual two-dimensional theory. By precisely matching the two sides, the authors show that this conjecture holds in a higher dimension, namely two-dimensional conformal field theories dual to three-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetimes (CFT $_{2}$ /AdS $_{3}$ duality).
