Description
We perform observational tests on the $f(T) $ gravity using the Cosmic Chronometer data, SNIa data and BAO data together with three different independent measurements of the current value of $H_0$. In this work, we investigate the impact of these priors on five core models in $f(T)$ gravity. In addition, we perform background studies on these models to better distinguish the impacts of the priors and $f(T)$ models. To do so, the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique was used in order to constrain the varying parameters of the models, including the Hubble constant $H_0$. These models, in turn, are compared to the $\Lambda$CDM model which allows us to investigate the $H_0$ tension.
