Abstract

In this paper, we examine the homotopy classes of positive loops in Sp(2n){\rm Sp}(2n). We demonstrate that two positive loops are homotopic if and only if they are homotopic through positive loops. As consequences, we can extend several results of McDuff \cite{McD} and Chance \cite{Cha} to higher dimensional symplectic manifolds without dimensional restrictions.
