Abstract

Recently was shown that standard odd and even-dimensional General Relativity can be obtained from a -dimensional Chern-Simons Lagrangian invariant under the algebra and from a -dimensional Born-Infeld Lagrangian invariant under a subalgebra respectively. Very Recently, it was shown that the generalized Inönü-Wigner contraction of the generalized AdS-Maxwell algebras provides Maxwell algebras types which correspond to the so called Lie algebras. In this article we report on a simple model that suggests a mechanism by which standard odd-dimensional General Relativity may emerge as a weak coupling constant limit of a -dimensional Chern-Simons Lagrangian invariant under the Maxwell algebra type , if and only if . Similarly, we show that standard even-dimensional General Relativity emerges as a weak coupling constant limit of a -dimensional Born-Infeld type Lagrangian invariant under a subalgebra of the Maxwell algebra type, if and only if . It is shown that when this is not possible for a -dimensional Chern-Simons Lagrangian invariant under the and for a -dimensional Born-Infeld type Lagrangian invariant under algebra.
