In mathematics, the Reeb vector field, named after the French mathematician Georges Reeb, is a notion that appears in various domains of contact geometry including:

  • in a contact manifold, given a contact 1-form α , the Reeb vector field satisfies R ∈ k e r   d α ,   α ( R ) = 1 ,
  • in particular, in the context of Sasakian manifold#The Reeb vector field.
