We extend our analytic results for sub-elliptic boundary value problems for the SpinC-Dirac operator, and gluing results for the indices of these boundary problems to SpinC-manifolds with several pseudoconvex (pseudoconcave) boundary components. These results are applied to study Stein fillability for compact, 3-dimensional, contact manifolds.Analysis of PDEsComplex Variables58J32; 58G20; 32V30text
