abstract
Modified teleparallel gravity theory with the torsion scalar have recently gained a lot of attention as a possible explanation of dark energy. We perform a thorough reconstruction analysis on the so-called $F(T)$ models, where $F(T)$ is some general function of the torsion term, and derive conditions for the equivalence between of $F(T)$ models with purely kinetic k-essence. We present a new class models of $F(T)$-gravity and k-essence. We also proposed some new models of generalized gases and knot universes as well as some generalizations of $F(T)$ gravity.

$f(T)$ Gravity: Background Dependence and Propagating Degrees of Freedom
By perturbing f(T) gravity around FLRW and Bianchi I spacetimes, the authors find that only the two gravitational-wave polarizations propagate in the gravity sector.
