Anisotropic fluid for a set of non-diagonal tetrads in f(T) gravity

We consider $f(T)$ gravity for a Weitzenbock spherically symmetric and static spacetime, where the metric is projected in the tangent space to the manifold for a set of non-diagonal tetrads. The matter content is coupled through the energy momentum tensor of an anisotropic fluid, generating various classes of new black hole and wormhole solutions. One of these classes is that of cold black holes. We also perform the reconstruction scheme of the algebraic function $f(T)$ for two cases where the radial pressure is proportional to $f(T)$ and its first derivative.Comment: 12 pages.

Locally Rotationally Symmetric Bianchi Type-I cosmological model in f(T)f(T) gravity: from early to Dark Energy dominated universe

We study the locally rotational symmetry Bianchi type-I dark energy model in the framework of $f(T)$ theory of gravity, where $T$ denotes the torsion scalar. A viable cosmological model is undertaken and the isotropization of this latter is checked, yielding a result that reflects the real evolution of our universe. Moreover, still in the anisotropic optic, a more complicated $f(T)$ model is obtained from the cosmological reconstruction scheme and the analysis shows that the universe is more anisotropic at the beginning if the terms of higher order in $T$ are not considered. This means that the non-linear model should be favoured by observational data.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, Accepted for publication in International Journal of Modern Physics D (IJMPD

Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff Equations and their implications or the structures of relativistic Stars in f(T) gravity

We investigate in this paper the structures of neutron and quark stars in f(T) theory of gravity where T denotes the torsion scalar. Attention is attached to the TOV type equations of this theory and numerical integrations of these equations are performed with suitable EoS. We search for the deviation of the mass-radius diagrams for power-law and exponential type correction from the TT gravity. Our results show that for some values of the input parameters appearing in the considered models, f(T) theory promotes more the structures of the relativistic stars, in consistency with the observational data

From the early to the late time universe within f(T,T)f(T,\mathcal{T}) gravity

In this paper we perform the reconstruction scheme of the gravitational action within $f(T,\mathcal{T})$ gravity, where $T$ and $\mathcal{T}$ denote the torsion scalar and the trace of the energy momentum tensor, respectively. We particularly focus our attention on the case where the algebraic function $f(T,\mathcal{T})$ is decomposed as a sum of two functions $f_1(T)$ and $f_2(\mathcal{T})$, i.e, $f(T,\mathcal{T})=f_{1}(T)+f_{2}(\mathcal{T})$. The description is essentially based on the scale factor and then, we consider two interesting and realistic expressions of this parameter and reconstruct the action corresponding to each phase of the universe. Our results show that some $f(T,\mathcal{T})$ models are able to describe the evolution of the universe from the inflation phase to the late time dark energy dominated phase.Comment: 23 page

Exploring Cylindrical Solutions in Modified f(G) Gravity

We present cylindrically symmetric solutions for a type of the Gauss-Bonnet gravity, in details. We derive the full system of the field equations and show that there exist seven families of exact solutions for three forms of viable models. By applying the method based on the effective fluid energy momentum tensor components, we evaluate the mass per unit length for the solutions. From dynamical point of the view, by evaluating the null energy condition for these configurations, we show that in some cases the azimuthal pressure breaks the energy condition. This violation of the null energy condition predicts the existence of a cylindrical wormhole.Comment: 27 page

Evaporation phenomena in f(T) gravity

We formulate evaporation phenomena in a generic model of generalized teleparallel gravity in Weitzenbock spacetime with diagonal and non-diagonal tetrads basis. We also perform the perturbation analysis around the constant torsion scalar solution named Nariai spacetime which is an exact solution of field equations as the limiting case of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter and in the limit where two back hole and their cosmological horizons coincide. By a carefully analysis of the horizon perturbation equation, we show that (anti)evaporation can not happen if we use a diagonal tetrad basis. This result implies that a typical black hole in any generic form of generalized teleparallel gravity is frozen in its initial state if we use the diagonal tetrads. But in the case of non-diagonal tetrads the analysis is completely different. By a suitable non trivial non-diagonal tetrad basis we investigate the linear stability of the model under perturbations of the metric and torsion simultaneously. We observe that in spite of the diagonal case, both evaporation and anti evaporation can happen. The phenomena depend on the initial phase of the horizon perturbation. In the first mode when we restrict ourselves to the first lower modes the (anti)evaporation happens. So, in non-diagonal case the physical phenomena is reasonable. This is an important advantage of using non-diagonal tetrads instead of the diagonal ones. We also see that this is an universal feature, completely independent from the form of the model.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figure

Charged Black Holes in Generalized Teleparallel Gravity

In this paper we investigate charged static black holes in 4D for generalized teleparallel models of gravity, based on torsion as the geometric object for describing gravity according to the equivalence principle. As a motivated idea, we introduce a set of non-diagonal tetrads and derive the full system of non linear differential equations. We prove that the common Schwarzschild gauge is applicable only when we study linear f(T) case. We reobtain the Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter (or RN-AdS) solution for the linear case of f(T) and perform a parametric cosmological reconstruction for two nonlinear models. We also study in detail a type of the no-go theorem in the framework of this modified teleparallel gravity.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figure, version accepted for publication in Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP

Perfect fluid and F(T) gravity descriptions of inflationary universe and comparison with obervational data

We describe in this paper the observables of inflationary models, in particular the spectrum index of torsion scalar perturbations, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the running of the spectral index, in the framework of perfect fluid models and F(T) gravity theories through the reconstruction methods. Then, our results on the perfect fluid and F(T) gravity theories of inflation are compared with recent cosmological observations such as the Planck satellite and BICEP2 experiment. Ours studies prove that the perfect fluid and F(T) gravity models can reproduce the inflationary universe consistent above all with the Planck data. We have reconstructed several models and considered others which give the best fit values compatible with the spectral index of curvature perturbations, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the running of the spectral index within the allowed ranges suggested by the Planck and BICEP2 results.Comment: 18 pages.

Thermodynamics of phantom Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS black hole

We obtain a new solution of the Einstein-anti-Maxwell theory with cosmological constant, called anti-Reissner-Nordstrom-(A)de Sitter (anti-RN-(A)dS) solution. The basic properties of this solution is reviewed. Its thermodynamics is consistently established, with the extreme cases and phase transitions, where the analysis is performed through two methods, the usual one and that of Geometrothermodynamics . The Geometrothermodynamics analysis does not provide a result in agreement with the usual method or by the specific heat. We establish local and global thermodynamic stabilities of anti-RN-AdS solution through the specific heat and the canonical and grand-canonical ensembles.Comment: 13 pages, 11 figure

Anisotropic Universe Models in f(T) Gravity

We investigate the cosmological reconstruction in anisotropic universe for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous content of the universe. Special attention is attached to three interesting cases: Bianchi type-I, Bianchi type-III and Kantowski-Sachs models. The de Sitter, power-law and general exponential solutions are assumed for the scale factor in each spatial direction and the corresponding cosmological models are reconstructed. Moreover, for the general exponential solutions, from which the de Sitter and power-law solutions may be obtained, we obtain models which reproduce the early universe, assumed as the inflation, and the late time accelerated expanding universe. The models obtained for the late time universe are consistent with a known result in literature where a power-law type correction in T is added to a power-law type of f(T) for guaranteeing the avoidance of the Big Rip and the Big Freeze.Comment: 16 pages, revtex4 format, version accepted for publication in Physical Review
