Abstract

In this paper, the Maxwell extension of the special-affine algebra is obtained and corresponding nonlinear realization is constructed. We give also the differential realization of the generators of the extended symmetry. Moreover, we present the gauge theory of the Maxwell special-affine algebra and the topological gravity action in four dimensions. As a conclusion, we show that the Bianchi identities can be found by using the solution of the equations of motion.
