Early Dark Energy (EDE) contributing a fraction $f_{rm EDE}(z_c)sim 10 %$ of the energy density of the universe around $z_csimeq 3500$ and diluting as or faster than radiation afterwards, can provide a resolution to the Hubble tension, the $sim 5sigma$ discrepancy between the $H_0$ value derived from early- and late-universe observations within $Lambda$CDM. However, it has been pointed out that Large-Scale Structure (LSS) data, which are in $sim3sigma$ tension with $Lambda$CDM and EDE cosmologies, might alter these conclusions. We reassess the viability of the EDE against a host of high- and low-redshift measurements, by combining LSS observations from recent weak lensing (WL) surveys with CMB, Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO), growth function (FS) and Supernova Ia (SNIa) data. Introducing a model whose only parameter is $f_{rm EDE}(z_c)$, we report a $sim 2sigma$ preference for non-zero $f_{rm EDE}(z_c)$ from Planck data alone and the tension with SH0ES is reduced below $2sigma$. Adding BAO, FS and SNIa does not affect this result, while the inclusion of a prior on $H_0$ from SH0ES increase the preference for non-zero EDE to $sim3.6sigma$. After checking the EDE non-linear matter power spectrum predicted by standard semi-analytical algorithms via a set of $N$-body simulations, we show that current WL data do not rule out EDE. We also caution against the interpretation of constraints obtained from combining statistically inconsistent data sets within the $Lambda$CDM cosmology. In light of the CMB lensing anomalies, we show that the lensing-marginalized CMB data also favor non-zero $f_{rm EDE}(z_c)$ at $sim2sigma$, predicts $H_0$ in $1.4sigma$ agreement with SH0ES and $S_8$ in $1.5sigma$ ($0.8sigma$) agreement with KV (DES) data. Alternatively, we discuss promising extensions of the EDE cosmology that could allow to fully restore cosmological concordance.
New Early Dark Energy (NEDE) is a component of vacuum energy at the electron volt scale, which decays in a first-order phase transition shortly before recombination [arXiv:1910.10739]. The NEDE component has the potential to resolve the tension betwe
A promising idea to resolve the long standing Hubble tension is to postulate a new subdominant dark-energy-like component in the pre-recombination Universe which is traditionally termed as the Early Dark Energy (EDE). However, as shown in Refs. cite{
Early dark energy (EDE) offers a particularly interesting theoretical approach to the Hubble tension, albeit one that introduces its own set of challenges, including a new `why then problem related to the EDE injection time at matter-radiation equali
The Hubble tension can be significantly eased if there is an early component of dark energy that becomes active around the time of matter-radiation equality. Early dark energy models suffer from a coincidence problem -- the physics of matter-radiatio
Weak gravitational lensing is one of the key probes of the cosmological model, dark energy, and dark matter, providing insight into both the cosmic expansion history and large scale structure growth history. Taking into account a broad spectrum of ph
