Dynamical features of scalar-torsion theories

Abstract

© 2015 American Physical Society. We investigate the cosmological dynamics in teleparallel gravity with nonminimal coupling. We analytically extract several asymptotic solutions, and we numerically study the exact phase-space behavior. Comparing the obtained results with the corresponding behavior of nonminimal scalar-curvature theory, we find significant differences, such as the rare stability and the frequent presence of oscillatory behavior.
