Title: On Birkhoff's theorem in scalar-tensor theory of gravitation
Abstract: It is shown that an analogue of Birkhoff's theorem of general relativity (1927) exists in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Sen and Dunn (1971). Unlike in the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory (1961), Birkhoff's theorem is valid in the present theory irrespective of the nature of the scalar field introduced.
