We consider certain aspects of cosmological dynamics of a spatially curved Universe in $f(T)$ gravity. Local analysis allows us to find conditions for bounces and for static solutions; these conditions appear to be in general less…

Einstein equations with $T_{\mu\nu} = k_\mu k_\nu + \ell_\mu \ell_\nu$ where $k, \ell$ are null are considered with spherical symmetry and staticity. The solution has naked singularity and is not asymptotically flat. However, it may be…
A fundamental criterion of viability of any gravity theory is existence of a stable ground-state solution being either Minkowski, dS or AdS space. Stability of the ground state is independent of which frame is physical. In general, a given…
