Power-law solutions in $f(T)$ gravity

Abstract

We have considered an action of the form $T+f(T)+L_m$ describing Einstein's gravity plus a function of the torsion scalar. By considering an exact power-law solution we have obtained the Friedmann equation as a differential equation for the function $f(T)$ in spatially flat universe and obtained the real valued solutions of this equation for some power-law solutions. We have also studied the power-law solutions when the universe enters a Phantom phase and shown that such solutions may exist for some f(T) solutions.
