Abstract: Let M be a (2k+2l+2)-dimensional smooth manifold. For such M, Bande and Hadjar introduce a new geometric structure called contact pair which roughly is a couple of 1-forms of constant classes with complementary kernels and foliations. We show the relationship between a pair of vector fields for a contact pair and a quadruple of functions on M. This is a generalization of the classical result for contact manifolds.

Key words: Contact geometry, Reeb vector field, contact pair
