Abstract

In this paper, we prove the following version of conformal CR positive mass theorem: Suppose that \((N, J,\theta )\) and \((N, J,\hat{\theta }=e^{2f}\theta )\) are three-dimensional asymptotically flat pseudohermitian manifolds such that their Tanaka-Webster curvatures satisfy \(e^{2f}\hat{R}-R\ge 0.\) Then the p-mass of \((N, J, \theta )\) and \((N, J, \hat{\theta })\) satisfy \( m(J, \hat{\theta })-m(J, \theta )\ge 0, \) and equality holds if and only if \(\hat{\theta }=\theta \). We also prove that the p-mass is independent of the choice of the sequence of coordinates spheres.
