Abstract

We investigate exact and analytic solutions in f(T)f\left( T\right) gravity within the context of a Friedmann--Lema\^{\i}tre--Robertson--Walker background space with nonzero spatial curvature. For the power law theory f(T)=Tnf\left( T\right) =T^{n} we find that the field equations admit an exact solution with a linear scalar factor for negative and positive spatial curvature. That Milne-like solution is asymptotic behaviour for the scale factor near the initial singularity for the model f(T)=T+f0Tn2Λf\left( T\right) =T+f_{0}T^{n}-2\Lambda. The analytic solution for that specific theory is presented in terms of Painlev\'{e} Series for n>1n>1. Moreover, from the\ value of the resonances of the Painlev\'{e} Series we conclude that the Milne-like solution is always unstable while for large values of the indepedent parameter, the field equations provide an expanding universe with a de Sitter expansion of a positive cosmological constant. Finally, the presence of the cosmological term Λ\Lambda in the studied f(T)f\left( T\right) model plays no role in the general behavior of the cosmological solution and the universe immerge in a de Sitter expansion either when the cosmological constant term Λ\Lambda in the f(T)f\left( T\right) model vanishes.
