Abstract

It is proved that stationary solutions to the vacuum Einstein field equations with a nonvanishing angular momentum have no Cauchy slice that is maximal, conformally flat, and nonboosted. The proof is based on results coming from a certain type of asymptotic expansion near null and spatial infinity--which also show that the development of Bowen-York-type data cannot have a development admitting a smooth null infinity--and from the fact that stationary solutions do admit a smooth null infinity.
