Non trivial frames for f(T) theories of gravity and beyond

arXiv:1103.0824 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2011.06.049

Abstract

Some conceptual issues concerning theories --a family of modified gravity theories based on absolute parallelism-- are analyzed. Due to the lack of local Lorentz invariance, the autoparallel frames satisfying the field equations are evasive to an \emph{a priori} physical understanding. We exemplify this point by working out the vierbein (tetrad) fields for closed and open Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies.
