Abstract: Let $mathbbF$ denote a field with $mchar,mathbbFot=2$. The Racah algebra $mathfrakR$ is the unital associative $mathbbF$-algebra defined by generators and relations in the following way. The generators are $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$. The relations assert that ${\displaystyle }$ [A,B]=[B,C]=[C,A]=2D ${\displaystyle }$ and each of the elements �egin{gather*} alpha=[A,D]+AC-BA, qquad �eta=[B,D]+BA-CB, qquad gamma=[C,D]+CB-AC end{gather*} is central in $mathfrakR$. Additionally the element $delta=A+B+C$ is central in $mathfrakR$. The algebra $mathfrakR$ was introduced by Genest-Vinet-Zhedanov. We consider a mild change in their setting to call each element in �egin{equation*} D^2+A^2+B^2 +frac{(delta+2){A,B}-{A^2,B}-{A,B^2}}{2} +A (�eta-delta) +B (delta-alpha)+mathfrak{C} end{equation*} a Casimir element of $mathfrakR$, where $mathfrakC$ is the commutative subalgebra of $mathfrakR$ generated by $alpha$, $$, $gamma$, $delta$. The main results of this paper are as follows. Each of the following distinct elements is a Casimir element of $mathfrakR$: �egin{align*} Omega_A = D^2 + frac{B A C +C A B}{2} + A^2 +B gamma -C �eta -A delta, Omega_B = D^2 + frac{C B A +A B C}{2} + B^2 +C alpha -A gamma -Bdelta, Omega_C = D^2 + frac{A C B +B C A}{2} + C^2 +A �eta -Balpha -Cdelta. end{align*} The set $Omeg{a}_A,Omeg{a}_B,Omeg{a}_C$ is invariant under a faithful $D_6$-action on $mathfrakR$. Moreover we show that any Casimir element $Omega$ is algebraically independent over $mathfrakC$; if $mchar,mathbbF=0$ then the center of $mathfrakR$ is $mathfrakC[Omega]$.
