Matter stability in modified teleparallel gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-05 v3

Abstract

We study the matter stability in modified teleparallel gravity or f(T)f(T) theories. We show that there is no Dolgov-Kawasaki instability in these types of modified teleparallel gravity theories. This give the f(T)f(T) theories a great advantage over their f(R)f(R) counterparts because from the stability point of view there isn't any limit on the form of functions that can be chosen.
