    Let \(M(\phi,\xi,\eta,g)\) be a contact metric manifold [see \textit{D. E. Blair}, Riemannian geometry of contact and symplectic manifolds, Progress in Mathematics 203. (Boston, MA: Birkhäuser) (2002; Zbl 1011.53001)]. The authors study the \(\eta\)-parallelity of the tensor field \(h=\frac12{\mathcal L}_{\xi}\phi\). Then they prove that \(M\) is either a \(K\)-contact space or a \((\kappa,\mu)\)-space. In the latter case, its associated CR-structure is integrable.
