Abstract: It is shown that solutions to Einstein's field equations with positive cosmological constant can include non-zero rest-mass fields which coexist with and travel unimpeded across a smooth conformal boundary. This is exemplified by the coupled Einstein-massive-scalar field equations for which the mass m is related to the cosmological constant lambda by the relation 3,m2=2,lambda. Cauchy data for the conformal field equations can in this case be prescribed on the (compact, space-like) conformal boundary calJ+. Their developments backwards in time induce a set of standard Cauchy data on space-like slices for the Einstein-massive-scalar field equations which is open in the set of all Cauchy data for this system.
