Abstract

We provide a classification of Λ>0\Lambda>0-vacuum spacetimes which admit a Killing vector field with respect to which the associated "Mars-Simon tensor" (MST) vanishes and having a conformally flat J\mathcal{J}^- (or J+\mathcal{J}^+). To that end, we also give a complete classification of conformal Killing vector fields on the 33-sphere S3\mathbb{S}^3 up to M\"obius transformations shedding light on the two fundamental constants that characterize the family of Kerr-de Sitter-like spacetimes, which turn out to be well-defined geometrical invariants. The topology of J\mathcal{J} is determined in every case, and a characterization result at J\mathcal{J} of the Kerr-de Sitter family presented.
