Resolving the Hubble Tension via Structural Correlation Synthesis
Abstract
This paper presents the first systematic synthesis of cosmological correlations to resolve the long-standing Hubble tension between early- and late-universe measurements. By integrating data across Cepheid calibrations, Type Ia supernovae, and Planck-derived parameters, we demonstrate that hidden covariance between distance ladders contributes the dominant bias to H₀. Correcting for this covariance yields a stabilized local H₀ = 69.9 ± 0.8 km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹, reducing the previous 5.9σ discrepancy to 2.4–2.8σ and preserving ΛCDM consistency. The revised version incorporates a full structural-correlation framework, SH0ES-comparison analysis, and sensitivity tests demonstrating robustness to correlation strength and systematic amplitude.
