In this paper, we attempt to resolve the dark matter problem in f(T) gravity. Specifically, from our model we successfully obtain the flat rotation curves of galaxies containing dark matter. Further, we obtain the density profile of dark matter in galaxies. Comparison of our analytical results shows that our torsion-based toy model for dark matter is in good agreement with empirical data-based models. It shows that we can address the dark matter as an effect of torsion of the space.

Behavior of interacting Ricci dark energy in logarithmic f(T) gravity

In the present work, we have considered a modified gravity model dubbed as ‘logarithmic f(T) gravity’ as reported by Bamba et al. (J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys 1101:21, 2011) and investigated the…

In this paper, we consider a theory of gravity with a metric-dependent torsion namely the F(R,T) gravity, where R is the curvature scalar and T is the torsion scalar. We study the geometric root of…

We study the evolution of primordial black hole (PBH) in an FRW universe in the framework of f(T) gravity. The accretion of matter onto PBH in the presence of modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) is studied.…

Dark matter from R2 gravity.

This work points out that this modification of Einstein gravity at high energies necessarily introduces new degrees of freedom and analyzes the possibility that these new gravitational states can provide the main contribution to the nonbaryonic dark matter of the Universe.
