Abstract: In this paper, we examine mapping class group relations of some symplectic manifolds. For each $ngeq1$ and $kgeq1$, we show that the $2n$-dimensional Weinstein domain $W=f=deltacap{B}^{2n+2}$, determined by the degree $k$ homogeneous polynomial $finmathbbC[z_0,dots,z_n]$, has a Boothby-Wang type boundary and a right-handed fibered Dehn twist along the boundary that is symplectically isotopic to a product of right-handed Dehn twists along Lagrangian spheres. We also present explicit descriptions of the symplectomorphisms in the case $n=2$ recovering the classical chain relation for the torus with two boundary components.
