4.2. Three-Dimensional H -Contact Manifolds

The scope of this section is to give a classification of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds whose Reeb vector field is a harmonic map.
Let ( M , ( ϕ , ξ , η , g )) be a 3-dimensional contact metric manifold. For each point m M there is a local orthonormal frame of the form B9780124158269000043/si485.gif is missing defined on some open neighborhood U of m in M and consisting of eigenvectors of h . Let B9780124158269000043/si490.gif is missing. Then U 1 is an open subset of M . Also let U 2 consist of all x M such that h = 0 in a neighborhood of x . Then U 2 is open ...
