Abstract

A new supersymmetrization of the so-called AdS–Lorentz algebra is presented. It involves two fermionic generators and is obtained by performing an abelian semigroup expansion of the superalgebra osp(4 | 1). The peculiar properties of the aforesaid expansion method are then exploited to construct a D= 4 supergravity action involving a generalized supersymmetric cosmological term in a geometric way, only from the curvatures of the novel superalgebra. The action obtained with this procedure is a MacDowell–Mansouri like action. Gauge invariance and supersymmetry of the action are also analyzed.
