A normal metric contact pair (with decomposable \(\phi \)) carries two complex structures and hence two Bochner tensors. In the paper under review, the main result on Bochner flatness is that if either of the Bochner tensors vanishes, then the manifold is locally isometric to the Hopf manifold \(S^{2m+1}(1)\times S^{1}\). The authors discuss then the question of conformal flatness as a corollary. They show that a conformally flat normal metric contact pair must also be locally isometric to a Hopf manifold. Moreover, as a bypass result, the authors recover the classification of locally conformally flat and Bochner-flat non-Kähler Vaisman manifolds.
