Gravitational Waves in Modified Teleparallel Theories |
|
Abstract |
Teleparallel Gravity offers the analogous possibility that gravity is expressed through torsion rather than curvature. While the theory can be constructed to reproduce general relativity at the level of equations, a number of extended theories have been proposed in recent years. Some of these include f(T), f(T,B), f(T,T_G) where torsion is characterized by the torsion scalar, T, which is related to the Ricci scalar by means of a total divergence quantity, B, and T_G represents the teleparallel Gauss-Bonnet contribution. We investigate gravitational waves and their properties in these settings with an eye to polarization contributions. |
