Abstract Space-based research can provide a major leap forward in the study of key open
questions in the fundamental physics domain. They include the validity of Einstein's …

Recent results of the LARASE research program in terms of model improvements and
relativistic measurements are presented. In particular, the results regarding the development …

We consider spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies with non-vanishing torsion,
which assumes a specific form due to the high symmetry of these universes. Using covariant …

We study weak-field solutions having spherical symmetry in f (T) gravity; to this end, we
solve the field equations for a nondiagonal tetrad, starting from Lagrangian in the form f (T) …

We discuss the structure of the Poincaré gauge theory of gravity (PG) that can be considered
as the standard theory of gravity with torsion. We reconfirm that torsion, in the context of PG …

As one of the possible extensions of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, it has been
recently suggested that the presence of space-time torsion could solve problems of the very …

In this work, the Laser Ranged Satellites Experiment (LARASE) is presented. This is a
research program that aims to perform new refined tests and measurements of gravitation in …

A viable model for inflation driven by a torsion function in a Friedmann background is
presented. The scalar spectral index in the interval 0.92\lesssim n_ s\lesssim 0.97 0.92≲ …

We consider scalar-torsion gravity theories based on the exact solutions of a physical type of
potential for cosmological inflationary models based on the non-minimal coupling of a scalar …

The aim of this paper is to extend, clarify, and deepen the results of our previous work [DM
Lucchesi and R. Peron, Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 231103 (2010)], related to the precise …
