1. Introduction
There are a number of alternative theories of gravity to General Relativity (GR). The
-type teleparallel theories of gravity are very promising [
1,
2,
3]. In these theories, the geometry is characterized by the torsion which is a function of the coframe,
, derivatives of the coframe, and a zero curvature and metric compatible spin-connection one-form
. Hence, in teleparallel gravity, it is necessary to work with a frame basis instead of a metric tensor. In such theories the role of symmetry is no longer as clearly defined as in pseudo-Riemannian geometry, where symmetry is defined in terms of an isometry of the metric or Killing Vectors (KVs). In GR, the Riemannian geometry is completely defined by the curvature of a Levi-Civita connection and calculated from the metric. But this is not really the case for some alternative theories, in particular for teleparallel
-type gravity.
The development of a frame-based approach for determining the symmetries of a spacetime has been explored [
4,
5,
6]. A possible complication arises due to the possible existence of a non-trivial linear isotropy group: a Lie group of Lorentz frame transformations keeping the associated tensors of the geometry invariant. If a given spacetime has a non-trivial linear isotropy group, determining the group of symmetries requires solving a set of inhomogeneous differential equations [
7]:
where
is the orthonormal coframe basis,
is a Lie algebra generator of Lorentz transformations and
are the components of the spin connection.
In ref. [
8], Coley et al. introduced a new approach to determine the symmetries of any geometry based on an independent frame and connection which admits the torsion tensor and the curvature tensor as geometric objects. In these theories, the connection is an independent object. They call any geometry where the non-metricity and curvature tensors vanish a
teleparallel geometry. The approach relies on the existence of a particular class of invariantly defined frames known as symmetry frames, which facilitates solving the differential equations arising from Equation (
1), by fixing the
in an invariant way.
This assumes an orthonormal frame where the gauge metric is
. The spin connection,
, is defined in terms of an arbitrary Lorentz transformation,
, through the equation
A particular subclass of teleparallel gravitational theories is dynamically equivalent to GR and is called the Teleparallel Equivalent to General Relativity (TEGR), which is based on a torsion scalar
T constructed from the torsion tensor [
1]. The most common generalization of TEGR is
-type teleparallel gravity, where
F is an arbitrary function of the torsion scalar
T [
9,
10,
11]. In the
covariant approach to
-type gravity, the teleparallel geometry is defined in a gauge-invariant manner as a geometry where the spin connection has zero curvature and zero non-metricity. The spin connection will vanish in the special class of proper frames, and will be non-zero in all other frames [
1,
3,
12]. Therefore, the resulting teleparallel gravity theory has Lorentz covariant FEs and is locally Lorentz invariant [
13]. A proper frame is not invariantly defined since it is defined in terms of the connection, which is not a tensorial quantity, which leads to a number of problems when using such a frame to determine symmetries.
There are several papers in the literature about static and non-static spherically symmetric solutions in teleparallel
gravity [
14,
15,
16,
17,
18,
19,
20,
21,
22,
23,
24,
25,
26,
27,
28,
29]. There are several perturbative solutions in TEGR (Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity) and there are some power-law
solutions with power-law frame components (see [
14,
15,
16,
17] and references within). These papers essentially use the Weitzenback gauge (leading to proper frames) because the antisymmetric FEs are trivially satisfied, but there are arising some extra degrees of freedom (DoFs) by imposing the zero spin connection. This requirement leads to only symmetric parts of FEs and the presented solutions are essentially limited to power-law in
and frame components by using a complex coframe. Beyond these considerations, even if the symmetric parts of FEs and their solutions are similar between the different gauges, the fact remains that the extra DoF potential issue associated with the proper frame should be resolved by a frame changing. For this requirement, it is necessary to go towards a frame where the spin connections can be found by solving the non-trivial antisymmetric parts of FEs. From there, all the DoFs will be covered by all the FEs and the solutions will be found by a non-trivial approach for the spin-connection and coframe components and then for the
solutions.
For rectifying this extra DoF potential issue and going further than power-law
solutions, there is a paper on general teleparallel spherically symmetric geometries with an emphasis on vacuum solutions and possible additional symmetry structures [
18]. They found the general FEs in an orthonormal gauge assuming a diagonal frame and a non-trivial spin connection, leading to specific antisymmetric parts of FEs and then to well-determined symmetric parts of FEs without extra DoFs. There are some specific symmetry structures such as static (radial coordinate dependent), Kantowski–Sacks (KS) (time coordinate dependent) and an additional affine symmetry called
. For static geometries, the study is restricted to find the
solutions in the vacuum. They found more power-law solutions, but also more general
solutions such as products, quotient, exponential and/or a mix of these type of functions. In this case, the
symmetry will be defined by the time-coordinate derivative
leading to radial coordinate dependence for coframes, spin connections and FEs.
For non-vacuum spherically symmetric
solutions, there are in principle several possible types of energy-momentum sources. The most interesting are the perfect isotropic cosmological and astrophysical fluids, and there are some teleparallel
solutions such as Bahamonde and Camci’s [
20]. In this paper, there are some specific power-law
solutions leading to some specific types of fluid where they find specific expressions for
P and
. But this type of approach is restrictive because this supposes first a power-law
solution and then they look for possible
and
P. Alternatively, for finding new solutions, a different approach would assume an energy-momentum source with an equation of state (EoS) (relation between
P and
as
) and then find all possible
solutions satisfying the FEs with these EoS relations.
For this paper, we assume a static (
r-coordinate dependent) spherically symmetric teleparallel geometry in an orthonormal gauge as defined in ref. [
18]. We will focus on finding non-vacuum static spherically symmetric teleparallel
solutions. After a brief summary of the static spherically symmetric teleparallel geometry and FEs in
Section 2, we will find in
Section 3 several possible
solutions for the linear and isotropic perfect fluids. In
Section 4, we will do the same with a dust fluid, because this special case arises from the conservation laws. In
Section 5, we will solve FEs and find some
solutions for a non-linear perfect fluid.
We will use the notation as follows: the coordinate indices are
and the tangent space indices are
as in ref. [
8]. The spacetime coordinates will be
. The frame fields are denoted as
and the dual coframe one-forms are
. The vierbein components are
or
. The spacetime metric is
and the Minkowski tangent space metric is
. For a local Lorentz transformation leaving
unchanged, we write
. The spin-connection one-form
is defined as
. The curvature and torsion tensors are, respectively,
and
. Covariant derivatives with respect to a metric-compatible connection are denoted using a semi-colon,
.
3. Perfect Linear Fluid Solutions
As the first case of a non-vacuum solution with an isotropic fluid having a linear EoS, we have
with
and
(i.e.,
), the static perfect cosmological fluid case. First, Equation (
15) will simplify as follows [
18]:
where
. By integration, we find as a solution for Equation (
17) the following:
In a such case, the density of the fluid
is directly dependent on
for
and the energy condition constraints to satisfy
for positive mass density. For
(dust fluid), we will need to solve this case separately to avoid the singular solution for Equation (
18). If we set an ansatz for the
,
will depend directly on this same ansatz according to the conservation laws. But since
depends only on
, one can in principle perform a coordinate change
for going to a frame where we have a constant and positive fluid density
[
18].
Then, although Equation (
14a) remains unchanged, Equations (
16b) and (
16c) will simplify as follows:
With Equations (
19a) and (
19b), we can put them together eliminating
to finally have a relation linking
and
:
The torsion scalar is as follows:
There are a number of possible approaches for solutions to the FEs described by Equations (
14a), (
19a), (
19b) and (
21) added by the conservation law solution described by Equation (
18). The main goal is to find several possible
solutions from these previous equations. For this purpose, we will solve for
constant and
as in ref. [
18]. We can do this because there is a set of coordinates where
is valuable without any loss of generality and the constant
system is the exception to this rule. This consideration is only for a local coordinate definition. The constant
case is an exception because we cannot perform a local transformation allowing this to change into a non-constant term. All other non-constant
can be changed by a local transformation into an
system.
3.1. Constant Field Equation Solutions
By setting
constant in our FEs, Equations (
14a), (
19a) and (
19b) become the following with Equation (
A2) components:
Equation (
21) for torsion scalar becomes the following:
3.1.1. Power-Law Solutions
We will solve Equations (
22a)–(
22c) by using the following ansatz:
In the supplement, Equation (
18) from the conservation laws becomes the following:
where
and
. Equations (
22a)–(
23) become the following:
For setting Equations (
26a)–(
26c) in terms of torsion scalar
T, we isolate
from Equation (
26d):
By substituting Equation (
27) into Equations (
26a)–(
26c) and by simplifying Equation (
26a), we obtain the following:
By putting Equations (
28b) and (
28c) and then by substituting Equation (
28a), we find the following as a solution for
:
where
and
. Equation (
29) is a new non-trivial
teleparallel solution arising from the
constant case. Then, Equation (
25) for the fluid density in terms of
T will be expressed as follows:
where
. Therefore, Equation (
29) has two possible singularities:
: This singularity appears in two terms of Equation (
29) leading to an undefined
and then
is undefined in all situations. For fluid density, Equation (
30) will lead to the following situations:
- –
subcase: is undefined.
- –
subcase: , the vacuum situation.
Then, Equation (
27) will lead to the following situations:
- –
subcase: is undefined.
- –
subcase: : a point-like singularity.
: This singularity only occurs for
and
. For Equations (
27) and (
30), there are no real consequences because we obtain definite values of
and
. This is only that
.
For
, Equation (
29) becomes the following:
and then Equation (
30) will simplify as follows:
where
. The
singularity is now the remaining one inside Equation (
31) and leads to an undefined
. We obtain from Equation (
32) that the fluid density is as follows:
For Equation (
27), we find the following:
For
and/or
, these are constant torsion scalar spacetime cases according to Equation (
26d) and are GR solutions.
3.1.2. Constant and Exponential Solutions
Another possible ansatz for
solutions is
and
. We replace the component
of the simple power-law ansatz expressed in Equation (
24) by an infinite series of power laws leading to an exponential ansatz defined as
. We then set
for the component
of this same ansatz thus generalizing the power-law ansatz as expressed in Equation (
24). Then, Equation (
23) becomes the following:
Equations (
22a)–(
22c) become the following:
By putting Equations (
34b) and (
34c) together and then by substituting Equation (
34a), we find the following:
where
. Equation (
35) is another new non-trivial
teleparallel solution with
constant. Then, Equation (
18) for the fluid density in terms of
T will be as follows:
where
and
. From Equation (
35), we find three singularities:
For
, Equation (
33) will be as follows:
where
. Then, Equations (
34a)–(
34c) will become the following:
By putting Equations (
38b) and (
38c) and then by substituting Equation (
38a) inside, we find the following:
Then, Equation (
36) for fluid density will be as follows:
where
and
. In the case of Equation (
39), the only and remaining singularity is
leading to an undefined
,
for
(vacuum) and an undefined
for
according to Equation (
40), all with
and
from Equation (
37).
For
, we obtain from Equation (
33) that the torsion scalar is constant (i.e.,
),
and
constant leading to GR solutions.
In comparison with ref. [
18], we obtain as a result for the pure vacuum case a linear
, which is a GR solution. But for a perfect fluid with
, we find some new and non-trivial teleparallel
specific solutions. These are all new teleparallel fluid non-vacuum solutions for the
constant class.
3.2. Field Equation Solutions
For
FEs, Equations (
14a), (
19a) and (
19b) become the following with Equation (
A3) components:
Equation (
21) for torsion scalar becomes the following:
There are a number of approach for solving Equations (
41a)–(
42) to find specific pure
new solutions in the general perfect fluid case with
. For conservation laws,
is still described by Equation (
18), because
depends only on the
component.
3.2.1. General Power-Law Field Equations
For FEs and conservation law in terms of power-law solutions, we will use the Equation (
24) ansatz in Equations (
25) and (
41a)–(
42). From there, we obtain the following:
where
constant and
. From Equation (
43d), we find the following characteristic eqn for
:
From Equation (
44), we can in principle isolate for each value of
a and
b a relation
for finding a specific solution
, which is the main aim of this rigorous work.
3.2.2. Simple Spacetime Solutions
Before going to more complex solutions, it is important to consider the simplest case of pure flat cosmological spacetimes where
. In this case, Equation (
44) becomes the following:
Then, Equations (
43a)–(
43c) and Equation (
25) become the following:
Equations (
46a)–(
46c) are expressed in terms of
T,
and
only. By putting Equations (
46b) and (
46c) together, we find the following:
where
is an integration constant. Equation (
47) is a pure power-law solution for static simple cosmological spacetimes where
, which is similar to Bahamonde–Camci solutions [
20]. If
, we find that Equation (
47) will be reduced to the TEGR-like solution
. For a pure flat null torsion spacetime, we require that
in Equations (
45)–(
46c), which leads to
and
constant without any other condition. If then
, we obtain the pure Minkowski spacetime [
35].
3.2.3. General Case Solutions
We will consider different cases according to the value of b for the general case (i.e., ):
case: Equation (
44) will be as follows:
where
. As for the simple case presented in
Section 3.2.2, we substitute Equation (
48) into Equations (
43a)–(
43c) by setting
. After that, by putting Equations (
43b) and (
43c) together, and then by substituting Equation (
43a), we find the following:
where
is a constant. Here, we have a power-law solution similar to the Bahamonde–Camci solution where
is described by Equation (
25) [
20]. In terms of torsion scalar, this Equation (
25) becomes the following:

solutions to the Equation (
112) characteristic equation. However, these
cannot lead to solvable and well-defined
solutions and this explains the limited number of possible power-law ansatz analytical
solutions for dust fluids.
All these teleparallel
solutions found in this section are all new. We may also use several other possible ansatz for finding further new
solutions as for
Section 3. However, we only used in this section power-law ansatz as defined by Equation (
24) with
(because of Equation (
102)) and solved for several new and interesting
solutions all useful for many types of astrophysical or cosmological dust fluids. We may still study and look in detail for singularities and their related physical characteristics in potential future works as for
Section 3 solutions. We can also find some point-like singularity solutions and/or matter absorbing singularities in these new
solutions.

Section 4 and
Section 5 dozens of new teleparallel
solutions in static spherically symmetric spacetimes for perfect fluids. These new
solutions are products of exponential, power, quotients and some mixtures of these types of expression. In some of these new
solutions, we found some new singularities which arise to point-like discontinuity or undefined
functions. In
Section 3.1, we found new teleparallel
solutions for the constant
where we used a power-law ansatz in
Section 3.1.1 and a special ansatz defined by an
constant (i.e.,
set as in ref. [
18]) and an exponential
component in
Section 3.1.2. This
component generalizes the power-law ansatz by a summation of an infinite number of integer power-law terms. By this approach, we found the same singularities as in
Section 3.1.1 and an additional singularity arising from the new ansatz.
For the rest of the paper (
Section 3.2–
Section 5.2), we used a power-law ansatz approach to find new
solutions by choosing an
coordinate system. If
constant, then we found for slightly quadratic perfect fluid approximation (
and
) some new approximated
solutions as shown by Equations (
140) and (
141) in
Section 5.1. The solutions found in
Section 5.2 for non-linear perfect fluids (in particular
) are usually generalizing the power-law
found in
Section 3.2.2–
Section 3.2.5 for
and are exact. We can easily make the same assumptions for
cases for generalizing
Section 3.2 new solutions. In addition, the new
solutions in
Section 4 for cosmological dust fluids (
) should be useful for studying some cosmological models with baryonic matter [
34].
Then, we look for non-perfect fluid
solutions, but we will have at least to add supplementary terms to the Equation (
11) definition of energy momentum. We will at least have to add some factors such as viscosity and any fluid imperfections. Equation (
11) characterizes an ideal fluid without any viscosity or imperfection where the pressure and the density are directly linked by an EoS. But this assumption of Equation (
11) cannot necessarily be performed for non-perfect fluids because of these additional physical factors. Several works may be carried out in the future, but we can expect more complex
solutions than those found in this paper.
For astrophysical and cosmological applications, a detailed analysis for each
solution obtained will be necessary for determining the stability conditions and their physical processes. There are several recent works on this type of study (see [
34,
36,
37,
38,
39,
40,
41,
42,
43] and references within). They sometimes replace the fluid by a scalar field source in some of these studies [
37,
39]. In addition, we should also study the physical processes around the singularities for each
solution in some future works. We can also work with electromagnetic energy-momentum sources for new classes of
solutions and for possible “electromagnetic” BH horizons, but new
solutions will be necessary [
21,
24,
25,
26,
27]. The teleparallel
solutions obtained in this paper can also be used as conditions for dynamical cosmological models. These solutions can be used for
-coordinates-based
solutions in some astrophysical and cosmological problems. In addition, there are in this paper many teleparallel
solutions for solving these physical problems and there are necessary ingredients for a complete cosmological analysis.
To proceed further in this approach, there are some ongoing developments concerning Kantowski–Sachs spacetime solutions in teleparallel
gravity where we look for general, fluid and other solutions (see [
18] and references within). There are some possible works on axially symmetric teleparallel
geometries allowing solving more astrophysical problems with teleparallel gravity [
44,
45]. Another possible work is looking for teleparallel
-type geometries. All these possibilities deserve serious and tactful considerations.
