Teleparallel gravity offers a path to resolve a number of longstanding issues in general relativity by re-interpreting gravitation as an artifact of torsion rather than curvature. The present work deals with cosmological solutions in an extension of teleparallel gravity. A reconstruction scheme of the theory has been proposed based on the cosmological jerk parameter. The work contains analysis of ensuing cosmological parameters for different viable models and the stability of the models against cosmic time through an investigation of perturbation of matter overdensity and the hubble parameter.
In the context of extended Teleparallel gravity theories with a 3+1 dimensions Gauss-Bonnet analog term, we address the possibility of these theories reproducing several well-known cosmological solutions. In particular when applied to a Friedmann-Lem
a^itre-Robertson-Walker geometry in four-dimensional spacetime with standard fluids exclusively. We study different types of gravitational Lagrangians and reconstruct solutions provided by analytical expressions for either the cosmological scale factor or the Hubble parameter. We also show that it is possible to find Lagrangians of this type without a cosmological constant such that the behaviour of the LCDM model is precisely mimicked. The new Lagrangians may also lead to other phenomenological consequences opening up the possibility for new theories to compete directly with other extensions of General Relativity.
The cosmological jerk parameter $j$ is reconstructed in a non-parametric way from observational data independent of a fiducial cosmological model. From this kinematical quantity, the equation of state parameter for composite matter distribution is al
so found out. The result shows that there is a deviation from the $Lambda$CDM model close to $z=1.5$, at the $3sigma$ confidence level.
In the context of extended theories of teleparallel gravity $f(T)$ we derive the focusing conditions for a one-parameter dependent congruence of timelike auto-parallels of the Levi-Civita connection. We also consider the $f(T)$ field equations for a
general metric tensor before moving on to consider a spatially flat Robertson-Walker space-time. Following this, we study the expansion rate for a one-parameter dependent congruence of timelike auto-parallel curves of the Levi-Civita connection. Given the fact that test particles follow auto-parallels of the Levi-Civita connection, the torsion-free Raychaudhuri equation is used in order to determine the desired focusing conditions. Finally we study the obtained focusing conditions for three $f(T)$ paradigmatic cosmological models and discuss the satisfaction or violation of these conditions. Through this, we find $f(T)$ models that allow for the weak and strong focusing conditions to be satisfied or violated. It is mentioned that this behaviour can also be found in the so-called $f(R)$ and $f(Q)$ theories.
Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity is an exceptional theory of gravity that is consistent with the vanishing affine connection. This theory is an alternative and a simpler geometrical formulation of general relativity, where the non-metricity $Q$ drives
the gravitational interaction. Our interest lies in exploring the cosmological bouncing scenarios in a flat Friedmann-Lima^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime within this framework. We explore bouncing scenarios with two different Lagrangian forms of $f(Q)$ such as a linearly and non-linearly dependence on $Q$. We have successfully examined all the energy conditions and stability analysis for both models to present a matter bounce.
Teleparallel gravity has significantly increased in popularity in recent decades, bringing attention to Einsteins other theory of gravity. In this Review, we relate this form of geometry to the broader metric-affine approach to forming gravitational
theories where we describe a systematic way of constructing consistent teleparallel theories that respect certain physical conditions such as local Lorentz invariance. We first use teleparallel gravity to formulate a teleparallel equivalent of general relativity which is dynamically equivalent to general relativity but which may have different behaviors for other scenarios, such as quantum gravity. After setting this foundation, we describe the plethora of modified teleparallel theories of gravity that have been proposed in the literature. In the second part of the Review, we first survey works in teleparallel astrophysics literature where we focus on the open questions in this regime of physics. We then discuss the cosmological consequences for the various formulations of teleparallel gravity. We do this at background level by exploring works using various approaches ranging from dynamical systems to Noether symmetries, and more. Naturally, we then discuss perturbation theory, firstly by giving a concise approach in which this can be applied in teleparallel gravity theories and then apply it to a number of important theories in the literature. Finally, we examine works in observational and precision cosmology across the plethora of proposal theories. This is done using some of the latest observations and is used to tackle cosmological tensions which may be alleviated in teleparallel cosmology. We also introduce a number of recent works in the application of machine learning to gravity, we do this through deep learning and Gaussian processes, together with discussions about other approaches in the literature.
