Abstract

We show that the so-called semi-simple extended Poincaré (SSEP) algebra in dimensions can be obtained from the anti-de~Sitter algebra by means of the -expansion procedure with an appropriate semigroup . A general prescription is given for computing Casimir operators for -expanded algebras, and the method is exemplified for the SSEP algebra. The -expansion method also allows us to extract the corresponding invariant tensor for the SSEP algebra, which is a key ingredient in the construction of a generalized action for Chern--Simons gravity in dimensions.
