Abstract

A multidimensional generalization of Melvin's solution for an arbitrary simple Lie algebra G\cal G is considered. The gravitational model in DD dimensions, D4D \geq 4, contains nn 2-forms and lnl \geq n scalar fields, where nn is the rank of G\cal G. The solution is governed by a set of nn 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). The polynomials Hs(z)H_s(z), s=1,,6s = 1,\dots,6, for the Lie algebra E6E_6 are obtained and a corresponding solution for l=n=6l = n = 6 is presented. The polynomials depend upon integration constants QsQ_s, s=1,,6s = 1,\dots,6. They obey symmetry and duality identities. The latter ones are used in deriving asymptotic relations for solutions at large distances. The power-law asymptotic relations for E6E_6-polynomials at large zz are governed by integer-valued matrix ν=A1(I+P)\nu = A^{-1} (I + P), where A1A^{-1} is the inverse Cartan matrix, II is the identity matrix and PP is permutation matrix, corresponding to a generator of the Z2Z_2-group of symmetry of the Dynkin diagram. The 2-form fluxes Φs\Phi^s, s=1,,6s = 1,\dots,6, are calculated.
