If \(\pi: P\to B\) denotes a locally trivial fiber bundle over a connected CW complex \(B\) with fiber equal to a closed symplectic manifold \((M,\omega)\), then \(\pi\) is said to be a symplectic fiber bundle if its structural group is the group of symplectomorphisms, and is called Hamiltonian if this group may be reduced to the group \(\text{Ham}(M, \omega)\) of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms. In the paper under review the authors show that these bundles have interesting cohomological properties. In particular, for many bases \(B\) (for example, when \(B\) is a sphere, a coadjoint orbit or a product of complex projective spaces) the rational cohomology of \(P\) is the tensor product of the cohomology of \(B\) with that of \(M\). As a consequence, the natural action of the rational homology \(H_k(\text{Ham}(M))\) on \(H_*(M)\) is trivial for all \(M\) and all \(k> 0\).
