Abstract: Let M4 be a smooth compact manifold with a free circle action generated by a vector field X. Then for any invariant symplectic form omega on M the contracted form iotaXomega is nondegenerate. Using the map omega>iotaXomega and the related map to H1(M/S1,R) we study the topology of the space Sinv of invariant symplectic forms. In particular we give a description of pi0Sinv(M4) in terms of the unit Thurston ball.
