The authors obtain estimates on the first positive eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian on the CR-manifold \(\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}\). The results are similar to the earlier results on the unit sphere with different Riemanian metrics. In particular, they show that the normalized first eigenvalue varies as the pseudo-Hermitian structure varies, and prove that it is maximized by the standard contact form on \(\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}\).
