Abstract
The validity conditions for the extended Birkhoff theorem in multidime nsional gravity with n internal spaces are formulated, with no restric tion on space-time dimensionality and signature. Examples of matter so urces and geometries for which the theorem is valid are given. Further generalization of the theorem is discussed.
