Abstract
We study a cross-ratio of four generic points of which comes from spherical CR geometry. We construct a homomorphism from a certain group generated by generic configurations of four points in to the pre-Bloch group . If is a -dimensional spherical CR manifold with a CR triangulation, by our homomorphism, we get a -valued invariant for . We show that when applying to it the Bloch-Wigner function, it is zero. Under some conditions on , we show the invariant lies in the Bloch group , where is the field generated by the cross-ratio. For a CR triangulation of Whitehead link complement, we show its invariant is a non-trivial torsion in .
