A teleparallel geometry is an n-dimensional manifold equipped with a frame basis and an independent spin connection. For such a geometry, the curvature tensor vanishes and the torsion tensor is non-zero. A straightforward approach to characterizing teleparallel geometries is to compute scalar polynomial invariants constructed from the torsion tensor and its covariant derivatives. An open question has been whether the set of all scalar polynomial torsion invariants, $mathcal{I}_T$ uniquely characterize a given teleparallel geometry. In this paper we show that the answer is no and construct the most general class of teleparallel geometries in four dimensions which cannot be characterized by $mathcal{I}_T$. As a corollary we determine all teleparallel geometries which have vanishing scalar polynomial torsion invariants.

We investigate the conformal transformation of vierbein-Einstein-Palatini (VEP) action in terms of tetrads $e^I_mu$ and spin connection $A^{IJ}_mu$. The transformation of the spin connection is indeterminate off-shell unless equations of motion are s atisfied. We construct the conformally invariant scalar field in the torsion-free VEP formalism. In presence of fermionic matter, torsion does not vanish, and shows up in the dynamics of conformal scalar, affecting the invariance. It is not possible to maintain conformal invariance of the scalar field equation when fermions are present.
Braneworld models are interesting theoretical and phenomenological frameworks to search for new physics beyond the standard model of particles and cosmology. In this work, we discuss braneworld models whose gravitational dynamics are governed by tele parallel $f(T)$ gravities. Here, we emphasize a codimension two axisymmetric model, also known as a string-like brane. Likewise, in the 5D domain-walls models, the $f(T)$ gravitational modification leads to a phase transition on the perfect fluid source providing a brane-splitting mechanism. Furthermore, the torsion changes the gravitational perturbations. The torsion produces new potential wells inside the brane core leading to a massless mode more localized around the ring structures. In addition, the torsion keeps a gapless non-localizable and a stable tower of massive modes in the bulk.
A viable model for inflation driven by a torsion function in a Friedmann background is presented. The scalar spectral index in the interval $0.92lesssim n_{s}lesssim 0.97$ is obtained in order to satisfy the initial conditions for inflation. The post inflationary phase is also studied, and the analytical solutions obtained for scale factor and energy density generalizes that ones for a matter dominated universe, indicating just a small deviation from the standard model evolution. The same kind of torsion function used also describes satisfactorily the recent acceleration of the universe, which could indicate a possible unification of different phases, apart form specific constants.
We investigate the cosmological dynamics in teleparallel gravity with nonminimal coupling. We analytically extract several asymptotic solutions and we numerically study the exact phase-space behavior. Comparing the obtained results with the correspon ding behavior of nonminimal scalar-curvature theory, we find significant differences, such is the rare stability and the frequent presence of oscillatory behavior.
We studied spherically symmetric solutions in scalar-torsion gravity theories in which a scalar field is coupled to torsion with a derivative coupling. We obtained the general field equations from which we extracted a decoupled master equation, the s olution of which leads to the specification of all other unknown functions. We first obtained an exact solution which represents a new wormhole-like solution dressed with a regular scalar field. Then, we found large distance linearized spherically symmetric solutions in which the space asymptotically is AdS.
