Abstract: It is well known that the spacetime $ext{AdS}_{2}imes{S}^2$ arises as the `near horizon' geometry of the extremal Reisser-Nordstrom solution, and for that reason it has been studied in connection with the AdS/CFT correspondence. Motivated by a conjectural viewpoint of Juan Maldacena, the authors in [4] studied the rigidity of asymptotically $ext{AdS}_{2}imes{S}^2$ spacetimes satisfying the null energy condition. In this paper, we take an entirely different and more general approach to the asymptotics based on the notion of conformal infinity. This involves a natural modification of the usual notion of timelike conformal infinity for asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes. As a consequence we are able to obtain a variety of new results, including similar results to those in [4] (but now allowing both higher dimensions and more than two ends) and a version of topological censorship.
