Description

In this talk I will give a brief introduction to teleparallel gravity and discuss ordinary and scalarised black hole solutions in f(T)-gravity. The later being the teleparallel analogue of f(R)-gravity. It turns out that the theory posses interesting generalisations of Schwarzschild geometry as solutions as well as scalarized black holes. A particular focus will be Born-Infeld f(T)-gravity, since in this theory a non-perturbative genralisation of Schwarzschild geometry has been found.
