Abstract
We consider the effect that gravity has when one tries to set up a constantbackground form field. We find that in analogy with the Melvin solution, wheremagnetic field lines self-gravitate to form a flux-tube, the self-gravity ofthe form field creates fluxbranes. Several exact solutions are foundcorresponding to different transverse spaces and world-volumes, a dilatoncoupling is also considered.Keywords
