Нехай $S^3$ є одиничною сферою у $\mathbb{C}^2$ зі стандартною структурою Коші-Рімана (CR). Використовуючи локальні CR інваріанти $S^3$, у цій статті досліджено CR геометрію кривих в $S^3$, які трансверсальні до контактного розподілу. А саме, у центрі уваги є CR геометрія трансверсальних вузлів. Розглянуто чотири глобальні інваріанти трансверсальних вузлів: фазова аномалія, CR спін, індекс Маслова та CR число самозацеплення. Обговорюється зв’язок між цими інваріантами і числом Беннеквіна вузла. Також розглянуто найпростішу CR інваріантну варіаційну проблему для загальних трансверсальних кривих і досліджено замкнуті критичні криві.
