Description

The discrepancy in measurements of the Hubble constant $H_0$ indicates new physics in dark energy, dark matter, or both. Drawing inspiration from string theory, where the dilaton interacts with the other moduli fields to accommodate the Agrawal-Obied-Vafa proposal of fading dark matter, we explore possible solutions to overcome the $H_0$ problem.
