We characterize R-circles in H as the minimizers of the energy, and establish a Heisenberg analog of the Doyle-Schramm cosine formula. We also show that the energy integrand admits an expression in terms of a complex-valued 2-form on the complement of the diagonal in H×H.
The regularization of the divergent integral of the order -2 potential with respect to the Koranyi distance yields a finite, CR-invariant functional whose minimizers are precisely the R-circles; this depends on the specific choice of distance being essential for invariance under PU(2,1).
The authors introduce a CR-invariant energy for Legendrian knots in the Heisenberg group, prove that R-circles minimize it, and derive a Heisenberg analog of the Doyle-Schramm cosine formula together with a complex 2-form expression for the integrand.
