    Let \({\mathbf h}_n\) be the Heisenberg Lie algebra. The author studies Riemannian contact manifolds as \({\mathbf h}_n\)-flat manifolds. This approach provides a special connection on such manifolds, that is briefly studied. The main result is a classification of complete Sasakian manifolds with constant holomorphic sectional curvature.
