Abstract

A general tetrad fields, with an arbitrary function of radial coordinate, preserving spherical symmetry, is provided. Such tetrad is split into two matrices: The first matrix represents a Local Lorentz Transformation (LLT), which contains an arbitrary function. The second matrix represents a proper tetrad fields which satisfy the field equations of f(T) gravitational theory. This general tetrad is applied to the field equations of f(T). We derive a solution with one constant of integration to the resulting field equations of f(T). This solution gives a vanishing value of the scalar torsion. We calculate the energy associated with this solution to investigate what is the nature of the constant of integration. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
