“…These generalized scalar-torsion f (T, φ ) gravity theories can also be seen as the torsion-based analogue of the so-called generalised f (R, φ ) gravity theories [25]. This general action includes f (T ) gravity with scalar field [33,34,35,36], non-minimally coupled scalar-torsion gravity [37,38,39,40,41,42], and its extensions by including a non-linear scalar-torsion coupling [43]. A non-linear coupling between matter and gravity has been first studied in the context of curvature-based models in Refs.…”
