Introduction

One could extend the gravity gauge group (SUSY, conformal, scale, metric affine transformations)obtaining SUGRA, conformal, Weyl, metric affine gauge theories of gravity

gauge theories of gravity

In all of them torsion is always related to the gauge structure.

Thus, a possible way towards gravity quantization would need to bring torsion into gravity description.

Varying the action and going to Fourier space we get the equation for GWs:

The (EFT) approach to f(T) gravity: Gravitational Waves

with

An immediate result: The speed of GWs is equal to the speed of light!

GW170817 constraints that

are trivially satisfied.

The effect of f(T) gravity on GWs comes through its effect on the background solutions itself, since at linear perturbation order f(T) gravity is effectively TEGR.

Conclusions i) Many cosmological and theoretical arguments favor modified gravity.

ii) Can we modify gravity based in its torsion formulation?

iii) Simplest choice: f(T) gravity, i.e extension of TEGR

iv) f(T) cosmology: Interesting phenomenology. Signatures in growth

iv) f(T) cosmology: Interesting phenomenology. Signatures in growth structure.

v) Non-minimal coupled scalar-torsion theory: Quintessence, phantom or crossing behavior. Similarly in torsion-matter coupling and TEGB.

vi) EFT approach allows for a systematic study of perturbations

vii) Observational signatures in the dispersion relation of GWs

viii) No further polarization modes.

Outlook Many subjects are open. Amongst them:

i) Examine higher-order perturbations to look for further polarizations.[Farugia, Gakis, Jackson, Saridakis, in preparation]

70

ii) Extend the analysis to other torsional modified gravity.

iii) Try to break the various degeneracies and find a signature of this particular class of modified gravity

vi) Convince people to work on the subject!
