Noether symmetry in f(T) teleparallel gravity

Noether symmetry in teleparallel f(T) gravity, where T is the torsion scalar, has been studied in the background of RobertsonâWalker spaceâtime. It is found that Noether symmetry admits f(T)âT32 and the associated conserved current is Σ=aaËT12, in matter dominated era. In the process, the recent cl...
