Popis: We prove that the group of strict contactomorphisms of the standard tight contact structure on the three-sphere deformation retracts to its unitary subgroup U(2).
Comment: Expanded both content and references. Separated into two parts. Part 1 is a more detailed proof of our new result of the deformation retraction of the group of strict contactomorphisms on the three-sphere. Part 2 gives a self-contained treatment and proofs of existing results scattered among several papers in the literature on the Fr\'echet bundle structure of the group of strict contactomorphisms
