Infinitely many non-isotopic real symplectic forms on $S^2 \times S^2$
Published 24 Aug 2020 in math.SG | (2008.10412v2)
Abstract: Let $(S2,\omega)$ be a symplectic sphere, and let $\tau \colon S2 \to S2$ be an anti-symplectic involution of $(S2,\omega)$. We consider the product $(S2,\omega) \times (S2,\omega)$ endowed with the anti-symplectic involution $\tau \times \tau$, and study the space of monotone anti-invariant symplectic forms on this four-manifold. We show that this space is disconnected. In addition, during the course of the proof, we produce a diffeomorphism of the grassmannian (2,4) which induces the identity map on all homology and homotopy groups, but which is not homotopic to the identity.
