Abstract
For four-dimensional spacetimes with 2-spaces of constant curvature, the authors present a complete list of solutions of Einstein's vacuum field equations with nonzero cosmological constant. All solutions requiring a regular extension are given in manifestly regular double-null coordinates.Keywords
