Abstract

We deal with generalized Melvin-like solutions associated with Lie algebras of rank 44 (A4A_4, B4B_4, C4C_4, D4D_4, F4F_4). Any solution has static cylindrically-symmetric metric in DD dimensions in presence of four Abelian 2-forms and four scalar fields. The solution is governed by four moduli functions Hs(z)H_s(z) (s=1,...,4s = 1,...,4) of squared radial coordinate z=ρ2z=\rho^2 obeying four differential equations of the Toda chain type. These functions are polynomials of powers (n1,n2,n3,n4)=(4,6,6,4),(8,14,18,10),(7,12,15,16),(6,10,6,6),(22,42,30,16)(n_1,n_2, n_3, n_4) = (4,6,6,4), (8,14,18,10), (7,12,15,16), (6,10,6,6), (22,42,30,16) for Lie algebras A4A_4, B4B_4, C4C_4, D4D_4, F4F_4, respectively. The asymptotic behaviour for the polynomials at large zz is governed by an integer-valued 4×44 \times 4 matrix ν\nu connected in a certain way with the inverse Cartan matrix of the Lie algebra and (in A4A_4 case) the matrix representing a generator of the Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-group of symmetry of the Dynkin diagram. The symmetry properties and duality identities for polynomials are studied. We also present 2-form flux integrals over a 22-dimensional submanifold. Dilatonic black hole analogs of the obtained Melvin-type solutions, e.g. "fantom" ones, are also considered. The phantom black holes are described by fluxbrane polynomials under consideration.
