Abstract

A quasi contact metric manifold is a natural generalization of a contact metric manifold based on the geometry of the corresponding quasi Kahler cones. In this paper we prove that if a quasi contact metric manifold has constant sectional curvature $c$, then $c=1$; additionally, if the characteristic vector field is Killing, then the manifold is Sasakian. These facts are some generalizations of Olszak's theorem to quasi contact metric manifolds.
