Inflation with teleparallelism: Can torsion generate primordial fluctuations without local Lorentz symmetry?

Arbitrary generalization to the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity loses local Lorentz invariance to reparametrize the orthonormal coordinate system and gives rise to asymmetry field equations. We investigate consequences of local Lorentz violation to primordial fluctuations in extended s...
