DESCRIPTION:A 3-dimensional contact manifold is called strongly fillable i
 f it is the convex boundary of a symplectic 4-manifold\, and it is called 
 Stein fillable if it bounds a Stein domain.  I will demonstrate how one ca
 n use punctured J-holomorphic curves in convex symplectic manifolds to ans
 wer the following types of questions: (1) What kinds of contact manifolds 
 are not fillable?  (2) What kinds of manifolds admit strong fillings but n
 ot Stein fillings?  (3) If a manifold is fillable\, what do all its (stron
 g / Stein) fillings look like?  (4) What is the group of compactly support
 ed symplectomorphisms on a symplectic manifold with a convex end?
