Gauge invariant perturbations of $F(T,T_G)$ Cosmology

Abstract

The Gauss-Bonnet invariant connects foundational aspects of geometry with physical phenomena in a variety of ways. Teleparallel gravity offers a novel direction in which to use the Gauss-Bonnet invariant to go beyond standard cosmology. In this work, we explore the cosmological perturbations of teleparallel gravity generalized through the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. This is crucial in understanding the viability of these models beyond background analyses. We do this by taking a gauge invariant approach, which is followed by popular gauge choice examples. It is important to take this approach to understand the stability and healthiness of the underlying theory. We determine the equations of motion for all perturbative modes and offer a physical interpretation for the new contributions for each of the modes.
