If a Lie group acts faithfully as a transitive group of contact transformations of a compact manifold it is either compact with centre of dimension at most 1 or non-compact simple. The latter case is described

Résumé

Résumé

Si un groupe de Lie se présente comme groupe transitif de transformations de contact de variété compacte, alors il est ou compact de centre de dimension au plus un ou non-compact simple de centre fini. On décrit ce qui se passe dans le second cas.
