Seidel's Representation on the Hamiltonian Group of a Cartesian Product

Abstract: Let

(M, o m e g a)

be a closed symplectic manifold and

e x t u p H a m (M, o m e g a)

the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of

(M, o m e g a)

. Then the Seidel homomorphism is a map from the fundamental group of

e x t u p H a m (M, o m e g a)

to the quantum homology ring

Q H_{*} (M; L a m b d a)

. Using this homomorphism we give a sufficient condition for when a nontrivial loop

p s i

in

e x t u p H a m (M, o m e g a)

determines a nontrivial loop

p s i i m e s e x t u p {i d}_{N}

in

e x t u p H a m (M i m e s N, o m e g a o p l u s e t a)

, where

(N, e t a)

is a closed symplectic manifold such that

p i_{2} (N) = 0

.
