Abstract

Different models of universes are considered in the context of teleparallel theories. Assuming that the universe is filled by a fluid with equation of state (EoS) P=ρf(ρ)P=-\rho-f(\rho), for different teleparallel theories and different EoS we study its dynamics. Two particular cases are studied in detail: in the first one we consider a function ff with two zeros (two de Sitter solutions) that mimics a huge cosmological constant at early times and a pressureless fluid at late times. In the second one, in the context of loop quantum cosmology with a small cosmological constant, we consider a pressureless fluid (P=0f(ρ)=ρP=0\Leftrightarrow f(\rho)=-\rho) which means that there are a de Sitter and an anti de Sitter solution. In both cases one obtains a non-singular universe that at early times is in an inflationary phase, after leaving this phase it passes trough a matter dominated phase and finally at late times it expands in an accelerated way.
