Dark torsion as the cosmic speed-up

It is shown that the recently detected acceleration of the Uuniverse can be understood by considering a modification of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, with no need of dark energy. The solution also exhibits phases dominated by matter and radiation as expected in the standard cosm...

Sumario:It is shown that the recently detected acceleration of the Uuniverse can be understood by considering a modification of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, with no need of dark energy. The solution also exhibits phases dominated by matter and radiation as expected in the standard cosmological evolution. We perform a joint analysis with measurements of the most recent type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillation peak, and estimates of the cosmic microwave background shift parameter data to constrain the only new parameter this theory has.
