Teleparallel Minkowski Spacetime with Perturbative Approach for Teleparallel Gravity on a Proper Frame

Abstract

A complete perturbation theory suitable for teleparallel gravity is developed. The proposed perturbation scheme takes into account perturbations of the coframe, the metric, and the spin-connection, while ensuring that the resulting perturbed system continues to describe a teleparallel gravity situation. The resulting perturbation scheme can be transformed to one in which perturbations all take place within the co-frame. A covariant definition of a teleparallel Minkowski geometry is proposed. We compute the perturbed field equations for $f(T)$ teleparallel gravity and discuss the stability of the teleparallel Minkowski geometry within $f(T)$ teleparallel gravity.
