Born-Infeld gravity in Weitzenböck spacetime

Using the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity formulated in Weitzenb”ock spacetime, we thoroughly explore a kind of Born-Infeld regular gravity leading to second order field equations for the vielbein components. We explicitly solve the equations of motion for two examples: the extended Ba~nados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole, which exists even if the cosmological constant is positive, and a cosmological model with matter, where the scale factor is well behaved, thus giving a singularity-free solution.
