Abstract

We introduce the supersymmetric version of YM-like theories with infinitely many spin fields in 4 dimension. The construction is carried out via the superfield method. The surprising feature of these models is that they describe in particular gauge and gravity in a supersymmetric form with no need of supergravity.
