Abstract
We explore the possibility of further gravitational wave modes in gravity, where is the torsion scalar in teleparallelism. It is explicitly demonstrated that gravitational wave modes in gravity are equivalent to those in General Relativity. This result is achieved by calculating the Minkowskian limit for a class of analytic function of . This consequence is also confirmed by the preservative analysis around the flat background in the weak field limit with the scalar-tensor representation of gravity.
