Abstract
In this paper we show that a contact metric three-manifold is a generalised (k, μ)-space on an everywhere dense open subset if and only if its characteristic vector field ξ determines a harmonic map from the manifold into its unit tangent sphere bundle equipped with the Sasaki metric. Moreover, we classify the contact metric three-manifolds whose characteristic vector field ξ is strongly normal (or equivalently, is harmonic and minimal).
