Popis: We consider D-dimensional Lovelock gravity with only one term of higher-order Lovelock Lagrangian densities, and show that a product of Minkowski space-time and n-spheres is its vacuum solution. The most interesting feature of our model is that the spontaneous compactification of the extra dimensions results in reproduction of the Einstein gravity with no cosmological constant.
