In this work, we first discuss the possibility that dark energy models with negative energy density values in the past can alleviate the $H_0$ tension, as well as the discrepancy with the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) Lyman-$alpha$ data, both which prevail within the $Lambda$CDM model. We then investigate whether two minimal extensions of the $Lambda$CDM model, together or separately, can successfully realize such a scenario: (i) the spatial curvature, which, in the case of spatially closed universe, mimics a negative density source and (ii) simple-graduated dark energy (gDE), which promotes the null inertial mass density of the usual vacuum energy to an arbitrary constant--if negative, the corresponding energy density decreases with redshift similar to the phantom models, but unlike them crosses below zero at a certain redshift. We find that, when the Planck data are not included in the observational analysis, the models with simple-gDE predict interesting and some significant deviations from the $Lambda$CDM model. In particular, a spatially closed universe along with a simple-gDE of positive inertial mass density, which work in contrast to each other, results in minor improvement to the $H_0$ tension. The joint dataset, including the Planck data, presents no evidence for a deviation from spatial flatness but almost the same evidence for a cosmological constant and the simple-gDE with an inertial mass density of order $mathcal{O}(10^{-12}),rm eV^4$. The latter case predicts almost no deviation from the $Lambda$CDM model up until today--so that it results in no improvement regarding the BAO Ly-$alpha$ data--except that it slightly aggravates the $H_0$ tension. We also study via dynamical analysis the history of the Universe in the models, as the simple-gDE results in futures different than the de Sitter future of the $Lambda$CDM model.

We study the cosmological constant ($Lambda$) in the standard $Lambda$CDM model by introducing the textit{graduated dark energy} (gDE) characterised by a minimal dynamical deviation from the null inertial mass density of the $Lambda$ in the form $rho _{rm inert}propto rho^{lambda}<0$ with $lambda<1$ being a ratio of two odd integers, for which its energy density $rho$ dynamically takes negative values in the finite past. For large negative values of $lambda$, it creates a phenomenological model described by a smooth function that approximately describes the $Lambda$ spontaneously switching sign in the late universe to become positive today. We confront the model with the latest combined observational data sets of PLK+BAO+SN+$H$. It is striking that the data predict bimodal posterior probability distributions for the parameters of the model along with large negative $lambda$ values; the new maximum significantly excludes the $Lambda$, and the old maximum contains the $Lambda$. The improvement in the goodness of fit for the $Lambda$ reaches highly significant levels, $Deltachi_{rm min}^2=6.4$ for the new maxima, while it remains at insignificant levels, $Deltachi_{rm min}^2lesssim0.02$, for the old maxima. We show that, in contrast to the old maxima, which do not distinguish from the $Lambda$, the new maxima agree with the model-independent $H_0$ measurements, high-precision Ly-$alpha$ data, and model-independent $Omh^2$ diagnostic estimates. Our results provide strong hints of a spontaneous sign switch in the cosmological constant and lead us to conjecture that the universe has transitioned from AdS vacua to dS vacua, at a redshift $zapprox 2.32$ and triggered the late-time acceleration, and suggests looking for such mechanisms in string theory constructions.
We use Pantheon Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) apparent magnitude, DES-3yr binned SN Ia apparent magnitude, Hubble parameter, and baryon acoustic oscillation measurements to constrain six spatially flat and non-flat cosmological models. These sets of data provide mutually consistent cosmological constraints in the six cosmological models we study. A joint analysis of these data sets provides model-independent estimates of the Hubble constant, $H_0=68.8pm1.8 rm{km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}$, and the non-relativistic matter density parameter, $Omega_{rm m_0}=0.294pm0.020$. Although the joint constraints prefer mild dark energy dynamics and a little spatial curvature, they do not rule out dark energy being a cosmological constant and flat spatial hypersurfaces. We also add quasar angular size and H II starburst galaxy measurements to the combined data set and find more restrictive constraints.
An approach to estimate the spatial curvature $Omega_k$ from data independently of dynamical models is suggested, through kinematic parameterizations of the comoving distance ($D_{C}(z)$) with third degree polynomial, of the Hubble parameter ($H(z)$) with a second degree polynomial and of the deceleration parameter ($q(z)$) with first order polynomial. All these parameterizations were done as function of redshift $z$. We used SNe Ia dataset from Pantheon compilation with 1048 distance moduli estimated in the range $0.01<z<2.3$ with systematic and statistical errors and a compilation of 31 $H(z)$ data estimated from cosmic chronometers. The spatial curvature found for $D_C(z)$ parametrization was $Omega_{k}=-0.03^{+0.24+0.56}_{-0.30-0.53}$. The parametrization for deceleration parameter $q(z)$ resulted in $Omega_{k}=-0.08^{+0.21+0.54}_{-0.27-0.45}$. The $H(z)$ parametrization has shown incompatibilities between $H(z)$ and SNe Ia data constraints, so these analyses were not combined. The $D_C(z)$ and $q(z)$ parametrizations are compatible with the spatially flat Universe as predicted by many inflation models and data from CMB. This type of analysis is very appealing as it avoids any bias because it does not depend on assumptions about the matter content of the Universe for estimating $Omega_k$.
The concordance of the $Lambda$CDM cosmological model in light of current observations has been the subject of an intense debate in recent months. The 2018 Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropy power spectrum measurements ap pear at face value to favour a spatially closed Universe with curvature parameter $Omega_K<0$. This preference disappears if Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurements are combined with Planck data to break the geometrical degeneracy, although the reliability of this combination has been questioned due to the strong tension present between the two datasets when assuming a curved Universe. Here, we approach this issue from yet another point of view, using measurements of the full-shape (FS) galaxy power spectrum, $P(k)$, from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey DR12 CMASS sample. By combining Planck data with FS measurements, we break the geometrical degeneracy and find $Omega_K=0.0023 pm 0.0028$. This constrains the Universe to be spatially flat to sub-percent precision, in excellent agreement with results obtained using BAO measurements. However, as with BAO, the overall increase in the best-fit $chi^2$ suggests a similar level of tension between Planck and $P(k)$ under the assumption of a curved Universe. While the debate on spatial curvature and the concordance between cosmological datasets remains open, our results provide new perspectives on the issue, highlighting the crucial role of FS measurements in the era of precision cosmology.
Inferring high-fidelity constraints on the spatial curvature parameter, $Omega_{rm K}$, under as few assumptions as possible, is of fundamental importance in cosmology. We propose a method to non-parametrically infer $Omega_{rm K}$ from late-Universe probes alone. Using Gaussian Processes (GP) to reconstruct the expansion history, we combine Cosmic Chronometers (CC) and Type Ia Supernovae (SNe~Ia) data to infer constraints on curvature, marginalized over the expansion history, calibration of the CC and SNe~Ia data, and the GP hyper-parameters. The obtained constraints on $Omega_{rm K}$ are free from parametric model assumptions for the expansion history, and are insensitive to the overall calibration of both the CC and SNe~Ia data (being sensitive only to relative distances and expansion rates). Applying this method to textit{Pantheon} SNe~Ia and the latest compilation of CCs, we find $Omega_{rm K} = -0.03 pm 0.26$, consistent with spatial flatness at the $mathcal{O}(10^{-1})$ level, and independent of any early-Universe probes. Applying our methodology to future Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and SNe~Ia data from upcoming Stage IV surveys, we forecast the ability to constrain $Omega_{rm K}$ at the $mathcal{O}(10^{-2})$ level.
