Abstract

We introduce and study HH-paracontact metric manifolds, that is, paracontact metric manifolds whose Reeb vector field ξ\xi is harmonic. We prove that they are characterized by the condition that ξ\xi is a Ricci eigenvector. We then investigate how harmonicity of the Reeb vector field ξ\xi of a paracontact metric manifold is related to some other relevant geometric properties, like infinitesimal harmonic transformations and paracontact Ricci solitons.
