Double cosmic walls in Teleparallel Gravity

Abstract

An example is given of a plane topological torsion defect representing a cosmic wall double wall in teleparallel gravity.The parallel planar walls undergone a repulsive gravitational force due to Cartan torsion.This is the first example of a non-Riemannian double cosmic wall.It is shown that the walls oscillate with a speed that depends on torsion and on the surface density of the wall.Cartan torsion acts also as a damping force reducing the speed of oscillation when it is stronger.
