Abstract

To the contact distribution of a contact manifold we associate Hamiltonian type vector fields, called contact Hamiltonian fields. Their properties are investigated and the existence of such vector fields nowhere tangent to a given submanifold is proved. Time-depending contact Hamiltonian vector fields allow us to define the contact energy whose properties are studied. A class of submanifolds in relation to the study of contact Hamiltonian fields is also analyzed.
