摘要： The plane symmetric general solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations in D =n+2 dimensions is presented. In addition to the n(n+1)/2 spacelike Killing vector fields characterizing the higher dimensional plane symmetry, there is also an extra Killing vector field in the solution, suggesting that the generalized Birkhoff theorem proved for 4-dimensional spacetimes might also be valid in higher dimensions.
