    In the paper under review, the authors study contact metric connections on multidimensional Heisenberg groups supplied with left-invariant Riemannian metrics. A linear connection \(\widetilde{\nabla}\) on a Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) with a contact structure \(\eta\) is called a contact metric connection, if \(\widetilde{\nabla} g=0\) and \(\widetilde{\nabla} \eta =0\). The main result of the paper is Theorem 1, which states that on a multidimensional Heisenberg group supplied with a left-invariant Riemannian metric and with a left-invariant Sasakian structure, there exists a unique contact metric connection with skew torsion, which is invariant with respect to the group of automorphism of the Sasakian structure.
