Modified Gravity in torsional theories and cosmology

Manuel González (PUCV)

Resumen:

We investigate modified gravity theories on its torsional-teleparallel formulation, and their cosmological applications. Moreover, we study the evolution of cosmological perturbations around a homogeneous and isotropic background in the framework of the non-minimal torsion-matter coupling extension of f(T) gravity. Finally, we study the dynamics of inflation in a general scalar-torsion gravity model by assuming a non-canonical scalar non-minimally coupled to torsion with a galileon-type self-interaction.
