In theories of gravity with a positive cosmological constant, we consider product solutions with flux, of the form (A)dS_p x S^q. Most solutions are shown to be perturbatively unstable, including all uncharged dS_p x S^q spacetimes. For dimensions greater than four, the stable class includes universes whose entropy exceeds that of de Sitter space, in violation of the conjectured "N-bound". Hence, if quantum gravity theories with finite-dimensional Hilbert space exist, the specification of a positive cosmological constant will not suffice to characterize the class of spacetimes they describe.

Properties of the magnetic universe with positive cosmological constant
The paper works out the geometry, flux, and geodesics of the Melvin magnetic universe with a positive cosmological constant, showing its two-sphere section is compact and carries a conical singularity, with a Freund-R...
