Teleparallel gravity can be seen as a gauge theory for the translation group. As such, its fundamental field is neither the tetrad nor the metric, but a gauge potential assuming values in the Lie algebra of the translation group. This gauge…

As a classical approach, the dynamics of the Universe, influenced by its dark components, are unveiled through prior modifications of Einstein's equations. Cosmography, on the other hand, is a highly efficient tool for reconstructing any…
We present a class of cosmological solutions for a generalized teleparallel gravity with, $f(T)=T+\tilde{\alpha}(-T)^n$, where $\tilde{\alpha}$ is some parameter and $n$ is an integer or half-integer. Choosing $\tilde{\alpha} \sim G^{n-1}$,…
