Abstract

We review recent developments on cosmology in extended teleparallel gravity, called "F(T)F(T) gravity" with TT the torsion scalar in teleparallelism. We explore various cosmological aspects of F(T)F(T) gravity including the evolution of the equation of state for the universe, finite-time future singularities, thermodynamics, and four-dimensional effective F(T)F(T) gravity theories coming from the higher-dimensional Kaluza-Klein (KK) and Randall-Sundrum (RS) theories.
