An accurate determination of the Hubble constant remains a puzzle in observational cosmology. The possibility of a new physics has emerged with a significant tension between the current expansion rate of our Universe measured from the cosmic microwave background by the Planck satellite and from local methods. In this paper, new tight estimates on this parameter are obtained by considering two data sets from galaxy distribution observations: galaxy cluster gas mass fractions and baryon acoustic oscillation measurements. Priors from the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) were also considered. By considering the flat $Lambda$CDM and XCDM models, and the non-flat $Lambda$CDM model, our main results are: $H_0=65.9^{+1.5}_{-1.5}$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$, $H_0=65.9^{+4.4}_{-4.0}$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ and $H_0=64.3^{+ 4.5}_{- 4.4}$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ in $2sigma$ c.l., respectively. These estimates are in full agreement with the Planck satellite results. Our analyses in these cosmological scenarios also support a negative value for the deceleration parameter at least in 3$sigma$ c.l..

We perform a measurement of the Hubble constant, $H_0$, using the latest baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) measurements from galaxy surveys of 6dFGS, SDSS DR7 Main Galaxy Sample, BOSS DR12 sample, and eBOSS DR14 quasar sample, in the framework of a flat $Lambda$CDM model. Based on the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, we examine the consistency of $H_0$ values derived from various data sets. We find that our measurement is consistent with that derived from Planck and with the local measurement of $H_0$ using the Cepheids and type Ia supernovae. We perform forecasts on $H_0$ from future BAO measurements, and find that the uncertainty of $H_0$ determined by future BAO data alone, including complete eBOSS, DESI and Euclid-like, is comparable with that from local measurements.
Two sources of geometric information are encoded in the galaxy power spectrum: the sound horizon at recombination and the horizon at matter-radiation equality. Analyzing the BOSS DR12 galaxy power spectra using perturbation theory with $Omega_m$ prio rs from Pantheon supernovae but no priors on $Omega_b$, we obtain constraints on $H_0$ from the second scale, finding $H_0 = 65.1^{+3.0}_{-5.4},mathrm{km},mathrm{s}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$; this differs from the best-fit of SH0ES at 95% confidence. Similar results are obtained if $Omega_m$ is constrained from uncalibrated BAO: $H_0 = 65.6^{+3.4}_{-5.5},mathrm{km},mathrm{s}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. Adding the analogous lensing results from Baxter & Sherwin 2020, the posterior shifts to $70.6^{+3.7}_{-5.0},mathrm{km},mathrm{s}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. Using mock data, Fisher analyses, and scale-cuts, we demonstrate that our constraints do not receive significant information from the sound horizon scale. Since many models resolve the $H_0$ controversy by adding new physics to alter the sound horizon, our measurements are a consistency test for standard cosmology before recombination. A simple forecast indicates that such constraints could reach $sigma_{H_0} simeq 1.6,mathrm{km},mathrm{s}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ in the era of Euclid.
Progressive increases in the precision of the Hubble-constant measurement via Cepheid-calibrated Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have shown a discrepancy of $sim 4.4sigma$ with the current value inferred from Planck satellite measurements of the cosmic m icrowave background radiation and the standard $Lambda$CDM cosmological model. This disagreement does not appear to be due to known systematic errors and may therefore be hinting at new fundamental physics. Although all of the current techniques have their own merits, further improvement in constraining the Hubble constant requires the development of as many independent methods as possible. In this work, we use SNe II as standardisable candles to obtain an independent measurement of the Hubble constant. Using 7 SNe II with host-galaxy distances measured from Cepheid variables or the tip of the red giant branch, we derive H$_0= 75.8^{+5.2}_{-4.9}$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ (statistical errors only). Our value favours that obtained from the conventional distance ladder (Cepheids + SNe Ia) and exhibits a difference of 8.4 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ from the Planck $+Lambda$CDM value. Adding an estimate of the systematic errors (2.8 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$) changes the $sim 1.7sigma$ discrepancy with Planck $+Lambda$CDM to $sim 1.4sigma$. Including the systematic errors and performing a bootstrap simulation, we confirm that the local H$_0$ value exceeds the value from the early Universe with a confidence level of 95%. As in this work we only exchange SNe II for SNe Ia to measure extragalactic distances, we demonstrate that there is no evidence that SNe Ia are the source of the H$_0$ tension.
Holographic dark energy (HDE) describes the vacuum energy in a cosmic IR region whose total energy saturates the limit of avoiding the collapse into a black hole. HDE predicts that the dark energy equation of the state transiting from greater than th e $-1$ regime to less than $-1$, accelerating the Universe slower at the early stage and faster at the late stage. We propose the HDE as a new {it physical} resolution to the Hubble constant discrepancy between the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and local measurements. With Planck CMB and galaxy baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data, we fit the HDE prediction of the Hubble constant as $H_0^{}!=, 71.54pm1.78,mathrm{km,s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}$, consistent with local $H_0^{}$ measurements by LMC Cepheid Standards (R19) at $1.4sigma$ level. Combining Planck+BAO+R19, we find the HDE parameter $c=0.51pm0.02$ and $H_0^{}! = 73.12pm 1.14,mathrm{km ,s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}$, which fits cosmological data at all redshifts. Future CMB and large-scale structure surveys will further test the holographic scenario.

We describe our algorithm for measuring the Hubble constant from Ryle Telescope (RT) interferometric observations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect from a galaxy cluster and observation of the cluster X-ray emission. We analyse the error budget in this method: as well as radio and X-ray random errors, we consider the effects of clumping and temperature differences in the cluster gas, of the kinetic SZ effect, of bremsstrahlung emission at radio wavelengths, of the gravitational lensing of background radio sources and of primary calibration error. Using RT, ASCA and ROSAT observations of the cluster Abell 1413, we find that random errors dominate over systematic ones, and estimate H_0 = 57^{+23}_{-16} km/s/Mpc (1-sigma errors).
