Abstract
We describe symplectic mapping class relations between products of positive Dehn twists along Lagrangian spheres in Weinstein -manifolds, all of which are affine varieties. The relations are obtained by applying classification results for Fano -folds and polarized surfaces of small genus to a general methodology -- finding pencil pairs.
