The combined observation of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart GRB170817A reveals that gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light in high precision. We apply the effective field theory approach to investigate the experimental consequences for the theory of $f(T)$ gravity. We find that the speed of gravitational waves within $f(T)$ gravity is exactly equal to the light speed, and hence the constraints from GW170817 and GRB170817A are trivially satisfied. The results are verified through the standard analysis of cosmological perturbations. Nevertheless, by examining the dispersion relation and the frequency of cosmological gravitational waves, we observe a deviation from the results of General Relativity, quantified by a new parameter. Although its value is relatively small in viable $f(T)$ models, its possible future measurement in advancing gravitational-wave astronomy would be the smoking gun of testing this type of modified gravity.

We summarise the effective field theory of dark energy construction to explore observable predictions of linear Horndeski theories. Based on cite{Perenon:2016blf}, we review the diagnostic of these theories on the correlation of the large-scale struc
ture phenomenological functions: the effective Newton constant, the light deflection parameter and the growth function of matter perturbations. We take this opportunity to discuss the evolution of the bounds the propagation speed of gravitational waves has undergone and use the most restrictive one to update the diagnostic.
The article presents modeling of inflationary scenarios for the first time in the $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity. We assume the $f(R,T)$ functional from to be $R + eta T$, where $R$ denotes the Ricci scalar, $T$ the trace of the energy-momentum tensor an
d $eta$ the model parameter (constant). We first investigated an inflationary scenario where the inflation is driven purely due to geometric effects outside of GR. We found the inflation observables to be independent of the number of e-foldings in this setup. The computed value of the spectral index is consistent with latest Planck 2018 dataset while the scalar to tensor ratio is a bit higher. We then proceeded to analyze the behavior of an inflation driven by $f(R,T)$ gravity coupled with a real scalar field. By taking the slow-roll approximation, we generated interesting scenarios where a Klein Gordon potential leads to observationally consistent inflation observables. Our results makes it clear-cut that in addition to the Ricci scalar and scalar fields, the trace of energy momentum tensor also play a major role in driving inflationary scenarios.
The evolution of the configurational entropy of the universe relies on the growth rate of density fluctuations and on the Hubble parameter. In this work, I present the evolution of configurational entropy for the power-law $f(T)$ gravity model of the
form $f(T) = zeta (-T)^ b$, where, $zeta = (6 H_{0}^{2})^{(1-s)}frac{Omega_{P_{0}}}{2 s -1}$ and $b$ a free parameter. From the analysis, I report that the configurational entropy in $f(T)$ gravity is negative and decreases with increasing scale factor and therefore consistent with an accelerating universe. The decrease in configurational entropy is the highest when $b$ vanishes since the effect of dark energy is maximum when $b=0$. Additionally, I find that as the parameter $b$ increases, the growth rate, growing mode, and the matter density parameter evolve slowly whereas the Hubble parameter evolves rapidly. The rapid evolution of the Hubble parameter in conjunction with the growth rate for the $b=0$ may provide an explanation for the large dissipation of configurational entropy.
We investigate the cosmological applications of $F(T,T_G)$ gravity, which is a novel modified gravitational theory based on the torsion invariant $T$ and the teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss-Bonnet term $T_{G}$. $F(T,T_{G})$ gravity differs from
both $F(T)$ theories as well as from $F(R,G)$ class of curvature modified gravity, and thus its corresponding cosmology proves to be very interesting. In particular, it provides a unified description of the cosmological history from early-times inflation to late-times self-acceleration, without the inclusion of a cosmological constant. Moreover, the dark energy equation-of-state parameter can be quintessence or phantom-like, or experience the phantom-divide crossing, depending on the parameters of the model.
[Abridged] In its standard formulation, the $f(T)$ field equations are not invariant under local Lorentz transformations, and thus the theory does not inherit the causal structure of special relativity. A locally Lorentz covariant $f(T)$ gravity theo
ry has been devised recently, and this local causality problem has been overcome. The nonlocal question, however, is left open. If gravitation is to be described by this covariant $f(T)$ gravity theory there are a number of issues that ought to be examined in its context, including the question as to whether its field equations allow homogeneous Godel-type solutions, which necessarily leads to violation of causality on nonlocal scale. Here, to look into the potentialities and difficulties of the covariant $f(T)$ theories, we examine whether they admit Godel-type solutions. We take a combination of a perfect fluid with electromagnetic plus a scalar field as source, and determine a general Godel-type solution, which contains special solutions in which the essential parameter of Godel-type geometries, $m^2$, defines any class of homogeneous Godel-type geometries. We extended to the context of covariant $f(T)$ gravity a theorem, which ensures that any perfect-fluid homogeneous Godel-type solution defines the same set of Godel tetrads $h_A^{~mu}$ up to a Lorentz transformation. We also shown that the single massless scalar field generates Godel-type solution with no closed timelike curves. Even though the covariant $f(T)$ gravity restores Lorentz covariance of the field equations and the local validity of the causality principle, the bare existence of the Godel-type solutions makes apparent that the covariant formulation of $f(T)$ gravity does not preclude non-local violation of causality in the form of closed timelike curves.
