CYLINDRICAL SOLUTIONS IN MODIFIED f(T) GRAVITY

We investigate static cylindrically symmetric vacuum solutions in Weyl coordinates in the framework of f(T) theory of gravity, where T is the torsion scalar. The set of modified Einstein equations is presented and the forthcoming equations are established. Specific physical expressions are assumed for the algebraic function f(T) and solutions are obtained. Moreover, general solution is obtained with finite values of u(r) on the axis r = 0 and this leads to a constant torsion scalar. Cosmological constant is also introduced and its relation to Linet-Tian solution in GR is commented.
