Solar System tests in f(T) gravity
read the original abstract
We investigate the four solar system tests of gravity - perihelion precession, light bending, Shapiro time delay, gravitational redshift - in $f(T)$ gravity. In particular, we investigate the solution derived by Ruggiero and Radicella, Phys. Rev. D 91, 104014 (2015), for a nondiagonal vierbein field for a polynomial $f(T) = T + \alpha T^n$, where $\alpha$ is a constant and $|n| \neq 1$. In this paper, we derive the solutions for each test, in which Weinberg's, Bodenner and Will's, Cattani et al. and Rindler and Ishak's methods are applied, Gravitation and Cosmology: Principles and Applications of the General Theory of Relativity (Wiley, New York, 1972); Am. J. Phys. 71 (2003); Phys. Rev. D 87, 047503 (2013); Phys. Rev. D 76, 043006 (2007). We set a constraint on alpha for $n$ = 2, 3 by using data available from literature.

Thick branes and fermion localization in five-dimensional $f(T,T_G)$ gravity
In 5D f(T, T_G) gravity, thick branes develop splitting and internal structure controlled by the coupling, while supporting a normalizable chiral fermion zero mode and modified resonant Kaluza-Klein states due to the ...
