On the covariance of teleparallel gravity theories

• The basics of teleparallel gravity and its extensions are reviewed with particular emphasis on the problem of the Lorentz-breaking choice of connection in pure-tetrad versions of the theories. Various possible ways to covariantise such models are discussed. A by-product is a new form of f (T) field equations.
