Description
We consider the teleparallel equivalent of Lovelock gravity and its natural extension, where the action is given by an arbitrary function f(TL1, TL2,⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , TLn) of the torsion invariants TLi, which contain higher order torsion terms, and derive its field equations. Then, we consider the special case of f(TL1, TL2) gravity and study a cosmological scenario by selecting a particular f(TL1, TL2), and derive the Friedmann equations. Also, we perform a dynamical systems analysis to extract information on the evolution of the cosmological model. Mainly, we find that the model has a very rich phenomenology and can describe the acceleration of the universe at late times.
