We proposed five $f(Q,T)$ models, which are an extension of symmetric teleparallel gravity, where $Q$ is the non-metricity and $T$ is the trace of the stress-energy tensor. By taking specific values of their parameters, these models have a…

In this paper, we consider wormhole geometries in the context of teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) as well as $f(T)$ gravity. The TEGR is an alternative geometrical formulation of Einstein's general relativity, where…

Recently, it was formulated a teleparallel theory called $f(T,B)$ gravity which connects both $f(T)$ and $f(R)$ under suitable limits. In this theory, the function in the action is assumed to depend on the torsion scalar $T$ and also on a…

In teleparallel gravity, we apply Lorenz type gauge fixing to cope with redundant degrees of freedom in the vierbein field. This condition is mainly to restore the Lorentz symmetry of the teleparallel torsion scalar. In cosmological…

We investigate inflation in modified gravity framework by introducing a direct coupling term between a scalar field $\phi$ and the trace of the energy momentum tensor $T$ as $f(\phi,T) = 2 \phi( \kappa^{1/2} \alpha T + \kappa^{5/2} \beta…

While conformal transformations in metric scalar-tensor theories recover General Relativity, this feature is notably absent in standard non-metricity-based theories. We demonstrate that by introducing the boundary term C, a non-metricity…

We discuss modified teleparallel gravity with function $f(T,T_G)$ in the action, where function depend on two arguments: torsion scalar $T$ and analogue of Gauss-Bonnet invariant $T_G$. In contradistinction to usual teleparallel gravity…

The recently proposed $f(Q, T)$ gravity (Xu et al. Eur. Phys. J. C \textbf{79} (2019) 708) is an extension of the symmetric teleparallel gravity. The gravitational action $L$ is given by an arbitrary function $f$ of the non-metricity $Q$…

We discuss the most general class of teleparallel scalar-torsion theories of gravity in their covariant formulation. The only restrictions we impose are the invariance of the action under diffeomorphisms and local Lorentz transformations,…

We examine the teleparallel formulation of non-minimally coupled scalar Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. In the teleparallel formulation, gravity is described by torsion instead of curvature, causing the usual Gauss-Bonnet invariant expressed…
