For positive matter and vacuum fractions with Ωm​+ΩΛ​=1, redshift drift vanishes when s2=Ωm​s3+ΩΛ​, s=1+z. Factoring out the trivial observer root s=1 leaves Ωm​s2−ΩΛ​s−ΩΛ​=0, giving the displayed positive root of a polynomial. It lies at a positive redshift exactly when Ωm​<2/3. It is independent of the Hubble constant at fixed density fractions and is not the redshift of the acceleration-to-deceleration transition.
