Cosmological Perturbation in f(T) Gravity Revisited

Izumi, Keisuke, Ong, Yen Chin

Understand

We perform detailed investigation of cosmological perturbations in f(T) theory of gravity coupled with scalar field.

  • Our work emphasizes on the way to gauge fix the theory and we examine all possible modes of perturbations up to second order.
  • The analysis includes pseudoscalar and pseudovector modes in addition to the usual scalar, vector, and tensor modes.
  • We find no gravitational propagating degree of freedom in the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, as well as pseudovector modes.
