This is joint work with Hansjörg Geiges. Extending our work on Cerf's theorem we apply our moduli-theoretic version of Eliashberg-Hofer's filling-with-holomorphic-discs method to symplectic manifolds with cylindrical ends. Is the tight 3-sphere one of its positive ends we obtain existence results for contractible closed Reeb orbits, filling obstructions, and non-existence results for Liouville cobordisms.

Any two basis of a finite dimensional vector space are related by a finite sequence of moves, namely the elementary moves of the  Gauss elimination process. Nielsen transfomations are group-theoretic analogs of Gauss's moves. A group may however possess unrelated generating n-tuples. Considering the case n=2, I will explain how to compute a complete set of invariants for the induced Nielsen equivalence relation in a class of abelian-by-cyclic groups.

Teichmuller spaces for surfaces of infinite type can be studied with geometric techniques, like the pair of pants decomposition and and Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates. In this case we have countably infinitely many pairs-of-pants and coordinates. With these techniques we can describe, under certain hypotheses, the topology given by the Teichmuller distance and the topology given by the "length spectrum" distance.
