Parametrized post-Newtonian limit of the Nieh-Yan modified teleparallel gravity
Haomin Rao
Abstract
The recently proposed Nieh-Yan modified teleparallel gravity is a parity-violating gravity model that modifies the general relativity equivalent teleparallel gravity by a Nieh-Yan term. This model is healthy and simple in form. In this paper, we consider the application of this model to the Solar System and investigate its slow-motion and weak-field approximation in terms of the parametrized post-Newtonian formalism. We find that all of the post-Newtonian parameters of the model are the same as those of general relativity, which makes the model compatible with the Solar System experiments.
