Abstract
We investigate static spherically symmetric solutions within the framework of the local limit of nonlocal gravity, which is a modified form of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity. This theory departs from Einstein’s general relativity through the introduction of a scalar gravitational susceptibility function S(x), 1+S > 0, which is a new phenomenological feature of the spacetime that vanishes in the general relativity limit. It is shown that the Schwarzschild spacetime constitutes an exact solution of the modified source-free gravitational field equations provided S is a constant. The mass of the corresponding Schwarzschild solution is given by M/(1+S), where M denotes the mass of the solution in the general relativity limit. The interpretation of the solution in terms of a black hole is ruled out due to the divergence of the algebraic invariants of the Weitzenböck torsion at the Schwarzschild horizon.
