A viable form of the metric Teleparallel F(T) theory of gravity

Abstract

Unlike F(R) gravity, pure metric F(T) gravity in the vacuum dominated era, ends up with an imaginary action and is therefore not feasible. This eerie situation may only be circumvented by associating a scalar field, which can also drive inflation in the very early universe. We show that, despite diverse claims, F(T) theory admits Noether symmetry only in the pressure-less dust era in the form F(T) proportional to the nth power of T, n being odd integers. A suitable form of F(T), admitting a viable Friedmann-like radiation dominated era, together with early deceleration and late-time accelerated expansion in the pressure-less dust era, has been proposed.
