Abstract
We present an explicit formula for the leading coefficient in the asymptotic expansion of the eigenvalue counting function of the Kohn Laplacian on the unit sphere \({\mathbb {S}}^{2n-1}\).

Notes
For more information on spherical harmonics we refer to [12]. We simplify the notation by writing just \({\mathcal {H}}_{p,q}\).
