The canonical references are the Eliashberg-Givental-Hofer SFT paper, the BEHWZ SFT compactness paper and the Cieliebak-Mohnke SFT compactness paper. These built on earlier papers of Hofer on pseudoholomorphic curves in symplectisations. The kind of neck stretching you want (with a Lefschetz fibration) was used by Seidel, maybe in his paper on the long exact sequence: I'll try and find a reference later. | |
