The accelerating expansion of the universe and torsion energy

In the present work, it is shown that the problem of the accelerating expansion of the Universe can be directly solved by applying Einstein geometrization philosophy in a wider geometry. The geometric structure used to fulfil the aim of the work is a version of Absolute Parallelism geometry in which curvature and torsion are simultaneously non vanishing objects. It is shown that, while the energy corresponding to the curvature of space- time gives rise to an attractive force, the energy corresponding to the torsion indicates the presence of a repulsive force. A fine tuning parameter can be adjusted to give the observed phenomena.
