Resumen:
The existence of an extra degree of freedom (d.o.f.) in f(T) gravity has been recently proved by means of the Dirac formalism for constrained Hamiltonian systems. We will show a toy model displaying the essential feature of f(T) gravity, which is the pseudo-invariance of T under a local symmetry, to understand the nature of the extra d.o.f.
