The electric Melvin solution in string theory
An electric version of the well-known magnetic Melvin solution of closed string theory is derived. By analogy with the Kaluza-Klein Melvin solution, which is flat space with points identified under a simultaneous rotation and translation in a compact dimension, an orbifold of Minkowski space involvi...
