Abstract

A generalized Melvin solution for an arbitrary simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra G\cal G is considered. The solution contains a metric, nn Abelian 2-forms and nn scalar fields, where nn is the rank of G\cal G. It is governed by a set of nn moduli functions Hs(z)H_s(z) obeying nn ordinary differential equations with certain boundary conditions imposed. It was conjectured earlier that these functions should be polynomials - the so-called fluxbrane polynomials. These polynomials depend upon integration constants qsq_s, s=1,,ns = 1,\dots,n. In the case when the conjecture on the polynomial structure for the Lie algebra G\cal G is satisfied, it is proved that 2-form flux integrals Φs\Phi^s over a proper 2d2d submanifold are finite and obey the relations: qsΦs=4πnshsq_s \Phi^s = 4 \pi n_s h_s, where hs>0h_s > 0 are certain constants (related to dilatonic coupling vectors) and nsn_s are powers of the polynomials, which are components of a twice dual Weyl vector in the basis of simple (co-)roots, s=1,,ns = 1,\dots,n. The main relations of the paper are valid for a solution corresponding to a finite-dimensional semi-simple Lie algebra G\cal G. Examples of polynomials and fluxes for the Lie algebras A1A_1, A2A_2, A3A_3, C2C_2, G2G_2 and A1+A1A_1 + A_1 are presented.
