4. The name teleparallel gravity is normally used to denote the general three-parameter theory introduced in K. Hayashi and T. Shirafuji, Phys. Rev. D19, 3524 (1979). Here, however, we use it as a synonymous for the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, a theory obtained for a specific choice of these parameters. For a recent appraisal on the three-parameter teleparallel gravity, see Yu. N. Obukhov and J. G. Pereira, Phys. Rev. D67, 044016 (2003).
