The authors consider an abstract CR manifold of hypersurface type, strictly pseudoconvex and equipped with a pseudo-Hermitian metric. After defining the natural sub-Laplacian operator, they use the Bochner identities to prove Cordes-Friedrichs type inequalities for the Hessian of a real valued function. As an application, they prove a regularity result for \(p\)-harmonic functions on the Heisenberg group.
