Abstract

We study the cosmological perturbations in teleparallel dark energy models in which there is a dynamical scalar field with a non-minimal coupling to gravity [1]. We use vierbein perturbation scenario in this work [2], and we find that the propagating degrees of freedom are the same as in quintessence cosmology despite that variables of the perturbed vierbein field are greater than those in metric theories. We numerically show some evident discrepancy from general relativity in the evolutions of the perturbations on all scales of the universe as seen in figure 1. We also demonstrate that the gravitational interactions are enhanced during the unique tracker evolutions in these models [3,4].
