- 中文摘要: We introduce a global Cauchy-Riemann (CR)-invariant and discuss its behavior on the moduli space of CR-structures. We argue that this study is related to the Smale conjecture in 3-topology and the problem of counting complex structures. Furthermore, we propose a contact-analogue of Ray-Singer's analytic torsion. This "contact torsion" is expected to be able to distinguish among "contact lens" spaces. We also propose the study of a certain kind of monopole equation associated with a contact structure.
