We present a classical field theory of interacting loops, whose low energy limit is D=4, N=1 supergravity. In Fourier modes, the theory is obtained by gauging the infinite dimensional algebra KM (SuperPoincaré) ⊕ Virasoro, where KM indicates the Kac-Moody extension. Taylor expanding the superloop vielbein in the “internal” coordinates yields towers of D=4 fields with arbitrarily high spins. The superloop diffeomorphisms relate all the higher spin fields. The field equations are obtained by requiring the closure of the generalized supersymmetries. Two different mechanisms give rise to masses for the higher modes: (i) a Kaluza-Klein type mass generation from “internal” loop coordinates, (ii) a non-vanishing background value for the zero mode of the Virasoro gauge field.

Abstract A unification in terms of exact solutions for massless Klein–Gordon, Dirac, Maxwell, Rarita– Schwinger, Einstein, and bosonic and fermionic fields of any spin is presented. The method is based on writing all of the relevant dynamical fields in terms of products and derivatives of pre–potential functions, which satisfy d’Alambert equation. The coupled equations satisfied by the pre–potentials are non-linear. Remarkably, there are particular solutions of (gradient) orthogonal pre–potentials that satisfy the usual wave equation which may be used to construct exact non–trivial solutions to Klein–Gordon, Dirac, Maxwell, Rarita–Schwinger, (linearized and full) Einstein and any spin bosonic and fermionic field equations, thus giving rise to an unification of the solutions of all massless field equations for any spin. Some solutions written in terms of orthogonal pre–potentials are presented. Relations of this method to previously developed ones, as well as to other subjects in physics are pointed out.
