Abstract

It is shown that if an asymptotically flat spacetime is asymptotically stationary, in the sense that \Lieξgab\Lie_{\xi} g_{ab} vanishes at the rate t3\sim t^{-3} for asymptotically timelike vector field ξa\xi^a, and the energy-momentum tensor vanishes at the rate t4\sim t^{-4}, then the spacetime is an asymptotically Schwarzschild spacetime. This gives a new aspect of the uniqueness theorem of a black hole.
