Review text

The present paper deals with contact Riemannian manifolds \(M\) (of dimension \(2n+1\)), whose associated complex structures are not assumed to be integrable. In the case \(n=1,\) \textit{A. Le} [Manuscr. Math. 122, No. 2, 245--264 (2007; Zbl 1145.32018)] constructed a Cartan connection on the Cartan principal bundle over \(M\) when the structure is integrable. The subject of this paper is the extension of this result to any \(n\ge 1,\) without assuming the complex structure to be integrable, see Theorem 2.2 and Theorem 4.3. This leads to Theorem 4.4 which gives as an integrability criterion for the complex structure the normality of the Chern-Moser connection.
