We derive the most general homogeneous and isotropic teleparallel geometries, defined by a metric and a flat, affine connection. We find that there are five branches of connection solutions, which are connected via several limits, and can further be restricted to the torsion-free and metric-compatible cases. We apply our results to several classes of general teleparallel gravity theories and derive their cosmological dynamics for all five branches. Our results show that for large subclasses of these theories the dynamics reduce to that of closely related metric or symmetric teleparallel gravity theories, while for other subclasses up to two new scalar degrees of freedom participate in the cosmological dynamics.
我们推导了由度规和一个平坦的仿射联络所定义的最一般的齐次且各向同性的遥平行几何。我们发现存在五个联络解分支,它们通过若干极限相互连接,并且可以进一步限制到无挠和度规相容的情形。我们将我们的结果应用于几类一般的遥平行引力理论,并推导了所有五个分支的宇宙动力学。我们的结果表明,对于这些理论的很大一部分子类,动力学简化为密切相关的度规或对称遥平行引力理论的动力学,而对于其他子类,多达两个新的标量自由度参与宇宙动力学。
