abstract
A multidimensional generalization of Melvin's solution for an arbitrary simple Lie algebra $\cal G$ is presented. The gravitational model contains n 2-forms and $l \geq n$ scalar fields, wheren is the rank of $\cal G$. The solution is governed by a set of n functions obeying n ordinary differential equations with certain boundary conditions. It was conjectured earlier that these functions should be polynomials (the so-called fluxbrane polynomials). A program (in Maple) for calculating of these polynomials for classical series of Lie algebras is suggested (see Appendix). The polynomials corresponding to the Lie algebra D_4 are obtained. It is conjectured that the polynomials for A_n-, B_n- and C_n-series may be obtained from polynomials for D_{n+1}-series by using certain reduction formulas.

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...
