Abstract

The present work deals with holographic dark energy in the context of unimodular f(T)f(T) gravity, which is a modification of teleparallel gravity. We develop the general reconstruction procedure of the f(T)f(T) form that can yield the holographic feature of the dark energy. We fit the reconstructed model with the H(z)H(z) data and our results show a perfect agreement with the WMAP9 cosmological observational data, at least for the range 1.10ωV1.05-1.10\leq \omega_V \leq -1.05. We investigate the consistency of the reconstructed model by studying its stability against linear gravitational and matter perturbations, fixing ωV\omega_V to 1.05-1.05. The model presents stability for both de Sitter and power-law solutions and we conclude that it is a good candidate as alternative viable model for characterizing holographic dark energy.
