Abstract
Suppose that M is a CR manifold bounding a compact complex manifold X. The manifold X admits an approximate Kähler-Einstein metric g which makes the interior of X a complete Riemannian manifold. We identify certain residues of the scattering operator as CR-covariant differential operators and obtain the CR Q-curvature of M from the scattering operator as well. Our results are an analogue in CR-geometry of Graham and Zworski's result that certain residues of the scattering operator on a conformally compact manifold with a Poincaré-Einstein metric are natural, conformally covariant differential operators, and the Q-curvature of the conformal infinity can be recovered from the scattering operator.
