Generalized Noether symmetry in f(T) gravity    [PDF]

H. Mohseni Sadjadi

We consider modified teleparallel gravity, (f(T) gravity), as a framework to explain the present accelerated expansion of the universe. The matter component is assumed to be cold dark matter. To find the explicit form of the function $f$, we utilize generalized Noether theorem and use generalized vector fields as a variational symmetries of the corresponding Lagrangian. We study the cosmological consequences of the obtained results.
