Abstract

We study the flat CR twistor model Q2,2CP3Q^{2,2}\subset \mathbb{CP}^3 by explicit projective methods. Using the anti-holomorphic involution jj associated with the twistor fibration, we classify the projective lines contained in Q2,2Q^{2,2} into twistor fibres and transverse lines, and relate the latter to round 22-spheres in S3S^3 through an explicit incidence--tangency correspondence. We classify hyperplane sections under the twistor-compatible symmetry group PSp(1,1)PSp(1,1) and describe the induced CR geometries on S3S^3. For smooth jj-invariant quadric sections, we obtain a complete relative classification in terms of Coxeter's inversive distance and show that, in the disjoint case, the construction yields an explicit one-parameter family of globally defined real-analytic non-spherical Levi-nondegenerate CR structures on S3S^3.
