Generalized Noether symmetry in f(T) gravity

arXiv:1210.0937 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2012.10.073

Abstract

We consider modified teleparallel gravity, (f(T) gravity), as a framework to explain the present accelerated expansion of the universe. The matter component is assumed to be cold dark matter. To find the explicit form of the function , we utilize generalized Noether theorem and use generalized vector fields as variational symmetries of the corresponding Lagrangian. We study the cosmological consequences of the obtained results.
