Teleparallel gravity has significantly increased in popularity in recent decades, bringing attention to Einstein's other theory of gravity. In this Review, we relate this form of geometry to the broader metric-affine approach to forming…

We apply the teleparallelism condition to the Poincar\'{e} gauge theory of gravity. The resultant teleparallelized cosmology is completely equivalent to the Friedmann cosmology derived from Einstein's general theory of relativity. The…

We discuss the quantization in the minisuperspace for the generalized fourth-order teleparallel cosmological theory known as $f\left( T,B\right) $. Specifically we focus on the case where the theory is linear on the torsion scalar, in that…
