Abstract: The main purpose of this note is to exhibit a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism loop undetected by the Seidel morphism of certain 2-point blow-ups of S2imesS2, exactly one of which being monotone. As side remarks, we show that Seidel's morphism is injective on all Hirzebruch surfaces and discuss how to adapt the monotone example to the Lagrangian setting.


The authors provide some example of Hamiltonian loop with a non-trivial homotopy class on a family of symplectic manifolds that is not detected by Seidel's morphism. They prove that the Seidel morphism of the 2-point blow ups of \((S^{2}\times S^{2},\omega_{1})\) with blow-ups of equal (arbitrary) sizes is not injective. In addition, a proof of the injectivity of Seidel's morphism on all Hirzebruch surfaces is presented.
