Abstract

Generalized Melvin solutions for rank-33 Lie algebras A3A_3, B3B_3 and C3C_3 are considered. Any solution contains metric, three Abelian 2-forms and three scalar fields. It is governed by three moduli functions H1(z),H2(z),H3(z)H_1(z),H_2(z),H_3(z) (z=ρ2z = \rho^2 and ρ\rho is a radial variable), obeying three differential equations with certain boundary conditions imposed. These functions are polynomials with powers (n1,n2,n3)=(3,4,3),(6,10,6),(5,8,9)(n_1,n_2, n_3) = (3,4,3), (6,10,6), (5,8,9) for Lie algebras A3A_3, B3B_3, C3C_3, respectively. The solutions depend upon integration constants q1,q2,q30q_1, q_2, q_3 \neq 0. The power-law asymptotic relations for polynomials at large zz are governed by integer-valued 3×33 \times 3 matrix ν\nu, which coincides with twice the inverse Cartan matrix 2A12 A^{-1} for Lie algebras B3B_3 and C3C_3, while in the A3A_3 case ν=A1(I+P)\nu = A^{-1} (I + P), where II is the identity matrix and PP is a permutation matrix, corresponding to a generator of the Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-group of symmetry of the Dynkin diagram. The duality identities for polynomials and asymptotic relations for solutions at large distances are obtained. 2-form flux integrals over a 22-dimensional disc of radius RR and corresponding Wilson loop factors over a circle of radius RR are presented.
