The growth of matter perturbations in the f(T) gravity    [PDF]

Xiangyun Fu, Puxun Wu, Hongwei Yu
In this paper, we study the growth index of matter density perturbations for the power law model in $f(T)$ gravity. Using the parametrization $\gamma(z)=\gamma_0+\gamma_1 {z\over 1+z}$ for the growth index, which approximates the real evolution of $\gamma(z)$ very well, and the observational data of the growth factor, we find that, at $1\sigma$ confidence level, the power law model in $f(T)$ gravity is consistent with the observations, since the obtained theoretical values of $\gamma_0$ and $\gamma_1$ are in the allowed region.
