I will discuss the existence of smooth solutions to the Neumann problem associated with the elliptic CR Yamabe operator on the domain of S^3 bounded by the Clifford torus, via the study of a suitable single layer potential.  This is motivated by the CR analogue of the Escobar–Yamabe problem, which asks for a conformal deformation of a given Riemannian metric on a manifold with boundary to a metric with vanishing scalar curvature and constant mean curvature boundary, and I will describe the connections of our results to this problem.  This is joint work with Jeffrey Case, Yi Wang, Paul Yang, and Po-Lam Yung.
