Abstract
It is well known that the field equation of teleparallel theory which is equivalent to general relativity completely agrees with the field equations of general relativity. However, teleparallel equivalent of general relativity has six redundant degrees of freedom which spoil the true physics. These extra degrees are related to the local Lorentz transformation. In this study, we give three different tetrad fields having cylindrical symmetry and depend only on the radial coordinate. One of these tetrads contains an arbitrary function, which is responsible to reproduce the other solutions, which come from local Lorentz transformation. We show by explicate calculations that this arbitrary function spoils the calculations of the conserved charges. We formulate a skew-symmetric tensor whose vanishing value puts a constraint on this arbitrary function. This constraint fixed the redundant degrees of freedom which characterize the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity.
