Review text

The authors derive two characterizations of locally homogeneous almost contact metric manifolds. The first one is a specialization of the infinitesimal characterization of Ambrose-Singer to the almost contact metric case and is the contact analog of the almost Hermitian version given by K. Sekigawa. The second one uses infinitesimal models and is a contact analog of the Riemannian version of Lastaria-Tricerri and the almost Hermitian version of Tricerri-Watanabe. They also provide a result for the special cases of almost normal contact metric manifolds and of Sasakian manifolds. In the last section of the paper, they give an example of a five-dimensional locally homogeneous normal almost contact metric space which is not Sasakian and not locally isometric to a globally homogeneous one. For their construction they use \textit{O. Kowalski's} example given in [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 8, 211-214 (1990; Zbl 0736.53047)]. The first characterization may also be derived as a special case of the work of \textit{V. F. Kirichenko} [Sov. Math., Dokl. 21, 734-737 (1980; Zbl 0484.53044)].
