Cosmological solutions in teleparallel $F(T,B)$ gravity

In this paper, we find several teleparallel $F(T,B)$ solutions for a Robertson--Walker (TRW) cosmological spacetime. We first set and solve the $F(T,B)$-type field equations for a linear perfect fluid. Using similar techniques, we then find new $F(T,B)$ solutions for non-linear perfect fluids with a weak quadratic correction term to the linear equation of state (EoS). Finally, we solve for new classes of $F(T,B)$ solutions for a scalar field source by assuming a power-law scalar field and then an exponential scalar field in terms of the time coordinate. For flat cosmological cases ($k=0$ cases), we find new exact and approximate $F(T,B)$ solutions. For non-flat cases ($k=\pm 1$ cases), we only find new teleparallel $F(T,B)$ solutions for some specific and well-defined cosmological expansion subcases. We conclude by briefly discussing the impact of these new teleparallel solutions on cosmological processes such as dark energy (DE) quintessence and phantom energy models.

Teleparallel Robertson-Walker geometries and applications

In teleparallel geometries the coframe and corresponding spin-connection are the principal geometric objects and consequently the appropriate definition of a symmetry is that of an affine symmetry. The set of invariant coframes and their corresponding spin connections that respect the full six dimensional Lie algebra of Robertson-Walker affine symmetries are displayed and discussed. We will refer to such geometries as teleparallel Robertson-Walker (TRW) geometries, where the corresponding derived metric is of Robertson-Walker form and is characterized by the parameter $k = (-1,0,1)$. The field equations are explicitly presented for the $F(T)$ class of teleparallel TRW spacetimes. We are primarily interested in investigating the $k \neq 0$ TRW models. After first studying the $k=0$ models and, in particular, writing their governing field equations in an appropriate form, we then study their late time stability with respect to perturbations in $k$ in both the cases of a vanishing and non-vanishing effective cosmological constant term. As an illustration we consider both quadratic $F(T)$ theories and power-law solutions.
