Abstract
Consider any symplectic ruled surface given by . We compute all natural equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants for all hamiltonian circle actions on , where and . We use these invariants to show the nontriviality of certain higher order Whitehead products that live in the homotopy groups of the symplectomorphism groups , . Our results are sharper when and enable us to answer a question posed by D.McDuff in the case and provide a new interpretation of the multiplicative structure in the ring found by Abreu-McDuff.
