We investigate the Lagrange multiplier formulation of teleparallel theories, including f(T) gravity, in which the connection is not set to zero a priori and compare it with the pure frame theory. We show explicitly that the two formulations are equivalent, in the sense that the dynamical equations have the same content. One consequence is that the manifestly local Lorentz invariant f(T) theory cannot be expected to be free of pathologies, which were previously found to plague f(T) gravity formulated in the usual pure frame approach.

  1. Revisiting Coincident GR in Internal STEGR Formulation

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper derives internal-STEGR field equations, recovers coincident GR as the coincident-gauge sector, and finds that massive test particles obey a norm-flow equation instead of geodesics.
