Abstract

We show that (S2×S2,ω0λω0)(S^2\times S^2, \omega_0 \oplus \lambda\omega_0), with λ>1\lambda > 1, is an example of symplectic manifold (X,ω)(X, \omega) such that the π1Ham(X×X,ωω)\pi_1 Ham(X \times X, \omega\oplus -\omega) contains extra elements than those from π1Ham(X,ω)×π1Ham(X,ω)\pi_1 Ham(X, \omega) \times \pi_1 Ham(X, -\omega).
