In this paper we investigate a time-varying neutrino mass model, motivated by the mild tension between cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements of the matter fluctuations and those obtained from low-redshift data. We modify the minimal case of the model proposed by [G. Dvali and L. Funcke, Phys. Rev. D 93, 113002 (2016)] that predicts late neutrino mass generation in a postrecombination cosmic phase transition, by assuming that neutrino asymmetries allow for the presence of relic…
