Weyl static axially symmetric field equations in modified f(T) gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the field equations of Weyl static axially symmetric space-time in the framework of [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text] is torsion scalar. We will see that, for [Formula: see text] related to teleparallel equivalent general relativity, these equations reduce to Einstein field equations. We show that if the components of energy–momentum tensor are symmetric, the scalar torsion must be either constant or only a function of radial component [Formula: see text]. The solutions of some functions [Formula: see text] in which [Formula: see text] is a function of [Formula: see text] are obtained.
