We use recent observations from solar system orbital motions in order to constrain f(T) gravity. In particular, imposing a quadratic f(T) correction to the linear-in-T form, which is a good approximation for every realistic case, we extract…
In the framework of $f(T)$ gravity, we focus on a weak-field and spherically symmetric solution for the Lagrangian $f(T)=T+\alpha T^{2}$, where $\alpha$ is a small constant which parameterizes the departure from General Relativity. In…
General relativity characterizes gravity as a geometric property exhibited on spacetime by massive objects while teleparallel gravity achieves the same results, at the level of equations, by taking a torsional perspective of gravity.…
Teleparallel gravity is a modified theory of gravity in which the Ricci scalar $R$ of the Lagrangian replaced by the general function of torsion scalar $T$ in action. With that, cosmology in teleparallel gravity becomes profoundly…

General relativity (GR) characterizes gravity as a geometric properly exhibited as curvature on spacetime. Teleprallelism describes gravity through torsional properties, and can reproduce GR at the level of equations. Similar to f(R)…
We show that in theories of generalised teleparallel gravity, whose Lagrangians are algebraic functions of the usual teleparallel Lagrangian, the action and the field equations are not invariant under local Lorentz transformations. We also…
We motivate and analyze the weak-field limit of a non-analytical Lagrangian for the gravitational field. After investigating the parameter space of the model, we impose constraints on the parameters characterizing this class of theories…
In this paper, we study different Solar System tests in a modified Teleparallel gravity theory based on an arbitrary function $f(T,B)$ which depends on the scalar torsion $T$ and the boundary term $B$. To do this, we first find new…
Teleparallel description of gravity theories where the gravity is mediated through the tetrad field and consequent torsion provide an alternative route to explain the late time cosmic speed up issue. Generalization of the teleparallel…
Recently the teleparallel Lagrangian density described by the torsion scalar T has been extended to a function of T. The $f(T)$ modified teleparallel gravity has been proposed as the natural gravitational alternative for dark energy to…
We consider modified teleparallel gravity, (f(T) gravity), as a framework to explain the present accelerated expansion of the universe. The matter component is assumed to be cold dark matter. To find the explicit form of the function $f$,…
This article presents cosmological models that arise in a subclass of $f(R,T)=f(R)+f(T)$ gravity models, with different $f(R)$ functions and fixed $T$-dependence. That is, the gravitational lagrangian is considered as $f(R,T)=f(R)+\lambda…
We search for viable f(R) theories of gravity, making use of the equivalence between such theories and scalar-tensor gravity. We find that models can be made consistent with solar system constraints either by giving the scalar a high mass…
This study explores the extension of teleparallel gravity within the framework of general relativity, introducing an algebraic function $f(T)$ dependent on the torsion scalar $T$. Motivated by the teleparallel formulation, we investigate…
We present a novel approach to modified theories of gravity that consists of adding to the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian an f(R) term constructed a la Palatini. Using the respective dynamically equivalent scalar-tensor representation, we show…
The $f(T)$ gravity is one of the extensions of teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, in which more general functions of the torsion scalar $T$ can be described. With the proposed functional form of $f(T) = \alpha T - \beta u^{-n} +…
We consider f(R,T) modified theories of gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar R and of the trace of the stress-energy tensor T. We obtain the gravitational field equations in the…
We study weak-field solutions having spherical symmetry in $f(T)$ gravity; to this end, we solve the field equations for a non diagonal tetrad, starting from Lagrangian in the form $f(T)=T+\alpha T^{n}$, where $\alpha$ is a small constant,…
