Abstract
We show the existence of a weak bi-invariant symmetric nondegenerate 2-form on the contact diffeomorphisms group of a contact Riemannian manifold and study its properties. We describe the Euler's equation on a Lie algebra of group and calculate the sectional curvature of . In a case connection between the bi-invariant metric on and the bi-invariant metric on volume-preserving diffeomorphisms group of is discover.
