Abstract: We give a complete classification of all connected isometry groups, together with their actions in the asymptotic region, in asymptotically flat, asymptotically vacuum space--times with timelike ADM four--momentum.

Review text

The authors give a global classification of the possible connected isometry groups near infinity. In addition to the assumptions mentioned in the title, they impose rather strong asymptotic fall-off conditions of the Einstein tensor near infinity in a suitably shaped region.
