The baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) have proven to be an invaluable tool in constraining the expansion history of the Universe at late times and are characterized by the comoving sound horizon at the baryon drag epoch rs(zd). The latter quantity can be calculated either numerically using recombination codes or via fitting functions, such as the one by Eisenstein and Hu (EH), made via grids of parameters of the recombination history. Here we quantify the accuracy of these expressions and show…

It is shown that with future LSST-like mock data the consistency test will be able to rule out these viable cosmological models at more than 5σ, help to check for tensions in the data and alleviate the existing tension of the amplitude of matter fluctuations.

The Genetic Algorithms (GAs), a particular machine learning technique, are used to derive simple and accurate formulae for the matter transfer function T ( k), and when the e-ects of massive neutrinos are also considered, this expression slightly improves over the EH formula, while being notably shorter in comparison.
