Abstract

In the Riemannian context, it is known that continuous groups of conformal isometries of the conformal infinity extend to groups of isometries of any bulk conformally compact Einstein metric with the given conformal infinity. This talk will focus on the analogous issue for Lorentzian Einstein metrics and the implications for the structure of such spaces.
