$f(T)$ Cosmology with Nonzero Curvature

Abstract

We investigate exact and analytic solutions in $f\left(T\right)$ gravity within the context of a Friedmann--Lema\^ıtre--Robertson--Walker background space with nonzero spatial curvature. For the power law theory $f\left(T\right)=T^n$ we find that the field equations admit an exact solution with a linear scalar factor for negative and positive spatial curvature. That Milne-like solution is asymptotic behaviour for the scale factor near the initial singularity for the model $f\left(T\right)=T+f_0{T}^n-2\Lambda$. The analytic solution for that specific theory is presented in terms of Painlevé Series for $n>1$. Moreover, from the\ value of the resonances of the Painlevé Series we conclude that the Milne-like solution is always unstable while for large values of the indepedent parameter, the field equations provide an expanding universe with a de Sitter expansion of a positive cosmological constant. Finally, the presence of the cosmological term $\Lambda$ in the studied $f\left(T\right)$ model plays no role in the general behavior of the cosmological solution and the universe immerge in a de Sitter expansion either when the cosmological constant term $\Lambda$ in the $f\left(T\right)$ model vanishes.
