Good and bad tetrads in f(T) gravity
read the original abstract
We investigate the importance of choosing good tetrads for the study of the field equations of $f(T)$ gravity. It is well known that this theory is not invariant under local Lorentz transformations, and therefore the choice of tetrad plays a crucial role in such models. Different tetrads will lead to different field equations which in turn have different solutions. We suggest to speak of a good tetrad if it imposes no restrictions on the form of $f(T)$. Employing local rotations, we construct good tetrads in the context of homogeneity and isotropy, and spherical symmetry, where we show how to find Schwarzschild-de Sitter solutions in vacuum. Our principal approach should be applicable to other symmetries as well.
