Conformal transformation in $f(T)$ theories

Abstract

It is well-known that $f(R)$ theories are dynamically equivalent to a particular class of scalar-tensor theories. In analogy to the $f(R)$ extension of the Einstein-Hilbert action of general relativity, $f(T)$ theories are generalizations of the action of teleparallel gravity. The field equations are always second order, remarkably simpler than $f(R)$ theories. It is interesting to investigate whether $f(T)$ theories have the similar conformal features possessed in $f(R)$ theories. It is shown, however, that $f(T)$ theories are not dynamically equivalent to teleparallel action plus a scalar field via conformal transformation, there appears an additional scalar-torsion coupling term. We discuss briefly what constraint of this coupling term may be put on $f(T)$ theories from observations of the solar system.
