Translation of Einstein's Attempt of a Unified Field Theory with Teleparallelism
read the original abstract
We present the first English translation of Einstein's original papers related to the teleparallel ('absolute parallelism', 'distant parallelism' and the German 'Fernparallelismus' are synonyms) attempt of an unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism. Our collection contains the summarizing paper in Math. Annal. 102 (1930) pp. 685-697 and 2 reports published in 'Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften' on June 7th, 1928 (pp. 217-221), June 14th, 1928 (pp. 224-227) and a precursor report (July 9th, 1925 pp. 414-419). To ease understanding, literature on tensor analysis is quoted in the footnotes.

Primordial black hole production in scalar field inflation within $f(T)$ gravity
In f(T) gravity with power-law and exponential models, a fiber inflation potential with ultra slow-roll phase amplifies the primordial curvature power spectrum on small scales to enable primordial black hole formation...

Compact Stars in Symmetric Teleparallel Scalar-Tensor Gravity
Analytic black-hole solutions are reconstructed via conservation laws from variational symmetries in symmetric teleparallel scalar-tensor gravity, and the theory is shown to support viable compact-star interiors match...

Cosmology of f(Q,L_m) gravity with Holographic Ricci Dark Energy: Early-Time Inflation and Late-Time Acceleration and RGUP Corrected Observables
A single f(Q, L_m) gravity model with HRDE produces Starobinsky-like inflation at high curvature and late-time acceleration, with RGUP corrections keeping n_s and r consistent with Planck while shifting the running of...

Reconciling the ACT Preference in $f(T)$ Gravity: Inflation and Reheating Constraints
Modest positive δ in f(T) teleparallel gravity suppresses r while keeping ns near its slow-roll value, restoring viability for sub-quadratic monomials and hilltop models disfavored in GR under ACT constraints.

Exploring Born-Infeld f(T) teleparallel gravity through accretion disk dynamics
Models thin Novikov-Thorne accretion disks in TBI gravity, computes their emission properties, and claims the model matches low-frequency observational data while distinguishing from GR with improved sensitivity.
