Abstract

We discuss modified teleparallel gravity with function f(T,TG)f(T,T_G) in the action, where function depend on two arguments: torsion scalar TT and analogue of Gauss-Bonnet invariant TGT_G. In contradistinction to usual teleparallel gravity f(T)f(T), this theory contains higher derivative terms, which may produce different instabilities. We discuss Minkowski stability problem in such kind of theories and explicitly demonstrate that for stability must be fT(0,0)<0f_T(0,0)<0, fTGTG>0f_{T_GT_G}>0. We apply these restrictions for the few types of functions discussed by the early authors.
