Production of Primordial Gravitational Waves in Teleparallel Gravity

We study the production of primordial gravitational waves in the context of extended teleparallel gravity models and compare them with those of general relativity. Teleparallel gravity has been widely studied in the context of the late universe but not much in the early universe. Two sources of primordial gravitational waves are considered, vacuum fluctuations and tensor anisotropies within two inflation-compatible backgrounds: a perfect de Sitter and a quasi de Sitter background. We find that in the vacuum case with a perfect de Sitter background, the gravitational waves propagation equation is the same as that of general relativity, however, if the background is promoted to a quasi de Sitter background, the propagation equations are different resulting in an important difference on the tensor spectral index. When tensor anisotropies are included, we compute the most general solution for gravitational waves in terms of a retarded Green's function and analyze the contributions to the power spectrum from these anisotropies. Finally, we investigate the energy density of these gravitational waves.

On primordial gravitational waves in Teleparallel Gravity

Teleparallel Gravity is a gauge theory where gravity is a manifestation of the torsion of space-time and its success relies on being a possible solution to some problems of General Relativity. In this essay we introduce the construction of the theory by defining its geometrical setup, and how we can build it as a gauge theory of translations locally invariant under the Lorentz group. In this context, we will study the production of primordial gravitational waves and the observational implications when extended models are taken into account, particularly, we will notice how the tensor spectral index changes and produces a direct impact on the power spectrum from vacuum fluctuations and any source of tensor anisotropic stress in comparison to General Relativity.

Inhomogeneous solutions in $f(T,B)$ gravity

In this paper we explore the possibility to find exact solutions for Teleparallel Gravity (TG) of the type of spherically symmetric Lema\^ıtre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) dust models. We apply to the LTB metric the formalism of Teleparallel Gravity in its extension to $f(T,B)$ models, which can be seen it as the analagous from the Schwarzschild solution in General Relativity. An exact LTB solution is obtained which is compatible with a specific $f(T,B)$ model whose observational constraints are cosmological viable in a standard spatially flat Robertson-Walker geometry.

$f(T,B)$ cosmography for high redshifts

In light of the statistical performance of cosmological observations, in this work we present the cosmography in $f(T,B)$ gravity. In this scenario we found a cosmological viable standard case that allows to reduce the degeneracy between several $f(T,B)$ models already proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we constrain this model using Pantheon SNeIa compilation, Cosmic Chronometers and a newly GRB calibrated data sample. We found that with an appropriate strategy for including the cosmographic parameter, we do produce a viable cosmology with our model within $f(T,B)$ gravity.

Dynamical complexity of the Teleparallel gravity cosmology

The exploration of teleparallel gravity has been done from a dynamical systems point of view in order to be tested against the cosmological evolution currently observed. So far, the proposed autonomous systems have been restrictive over a constant dynamical variable, which contains information related to the dynamics on the $H_0$ value. It is therefore that in this paper we consider a generalization of the dynamical system by imposing a nonconstant degree of freedom over it which allows us to rewrite a generic autonomous dynamical analysis. We describe the treatment of our nonlinear autonomous system by studying the hyperbolic critical points and discuss an interesting phenomenological feature in regards to $H_0$: the possibility to obtain a best-fit value for this parameter in a cosmologically viable $f(T,B)$ model, a mixed power law. This result allows us to present a generic scenario in which it is possible to fix constraints to solve the $H_0$ tension at late times where its linearized solutions are considered.
