Abstract: I will show how the Hilbert--Einstein functional detects the Reeb vector fields having a vanishing transversal Futaki
invariant and so that it is an obstruction to the existence of constant scalar curvature Sasaki metrics. I will also discuss the relation of this functional with the sasakian K-stability defined by Collins--Szekelyhidi.
