Abstract

The cosmological models based on teleparallel gravity with nonzero torsion are considered. To investigate the evolution of this theory, we consider the phase-space analysis of the f(T)f(T) theory. It shows when the tension scalar can be written as an inverse function of xx where x=ρe/(3mpl2H2)x=\rho_{e}/(3m_{pl}^{2}H^{2}) and T=g(x)T=g(x), the system is an autonomous one. Furthermore,the ωeωe\omega_{e}-\omega'_{e} phase analysis is given out. We perform the dynamical analysis for the models f(T)=βTln(T/T0)f(T)=\beta T\ln(T/T_{0}) and f(T)=αmpl2(T/mpl2)nf(T)=\alpha m_{pl}^{2}(-T/m_{pl}^{2})^{n} particularly. We find that the universe will settle into de-Sitter phase for both models. And we have examined the evolution behavior of the power law form in the ωepωep\omega_{ep}-\omega'_{ep} plane.
