Keywords:
contact Riemannian manifold; harmonic curvature; $D$-homothetic deformation
Summary:
In this paper we give first a classification of contact Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature tensor under the condition that the characteristic vector field $\xi$ belongs to the $(k,\mu )$-nullity distribution. Next it is shown that the dimension of the $(k,\mu )$-nullity distribution is equal to one and therefore is spanned by the characteristic vector field $\xi$.
