    Schwarzschild solution in extended teleparallel gravity

    Full text link
    Tetrad field, with two unknown functions of radial coordinate and an angle Φ\Phi which is the polar angle ϕ\phi times a function of the redial coordinate, is applied to the field equation of modified theory of gravity. Exact vacuum solution is derived whose scalar torsion, T=TαμνSαμνT ={T^\alpha}_{\mu \nu} {S_\alpha}^{\mu \nu}, is constant. When the angle Φ\Phi coincides with the polar angle ϕ\phi, the derived solution will be a solution only for linear form of f(T)f(T) gravitational theory.Comment: 8 pages Late

    Energy of spherically symmetric spacetimes on regularizing teleparallelism

    Full text link
    We calculate the total energy of an exact spherically symmetric solutions, i.e., Schwarzschild and Reissner Nordstro¨\ddot{o}m, using the gravitational energy-momentum 3-form within the tetrad formulation of general relativity. We explain how the effect of the inertial makes the total energy unphysical! Therefore, we use the covariant teleparallel approach which makes the energy always physical one. We also show that the inertial has no effect on the calculation of momentum.Comment: 13 pages, Latex, No Figure, Will appear in IJMP

    Regularization of f(T)f(T) gravity theories and local Lorentz transformation

    We regularized the field equations of f(T)f(T) gravity theories such that the effect of Local Lorentz Transformation (LLT), in the case of spherical symmetry, is removed. A "general tetrad field", with an arbitrary function of radial coordinate preserving spherical symmetry is provided. We split that tetrad field into two matrices; the first represents a LLT, which contains an arbitrary function, the second matrix represents a proper tetrad field which is a solution to the field equations of f(T)f(T) gravitational theory, (which are not invariant under LLT). This "general tetrad field" is then applied to the regularized field equations of f(T)f(T). We show that the effect of the arbitrary function which is involved in the LLT invariably disappears.Comment: 12 page

    A Kerr Metric Solution in Tetrad Theory of Gravitation

    Get PDF
    Using an axial parallel vector field we obtain two exact solutions of a vacuum gravitational field equations. One of the exact solutions gives the Schwarzschild metric while the other gives the Kerr metric. The parallel vector field of the Kerr solution have an axial symmetry. The exact solution of the Kerr metric contains two constants of integration, one being the gravitational mass of the source and the other constant hh is related to the angular momentum of the rotating source, when the spin density Sijμ{S_{i j}}^\mu of the gravitational source satisfies μSijμ=0\partial_\mu {S_{i j}}^\mu=0. The singularity of the Kerr solution is studied
