Abstract: Let $(S^2,omega)$ be a symplectic sphere, and let $aucolon{S}^{2}o{S}^2$ be an anti-symplectic involution of $(S^2,omega)$. We consider the product $(S^2,omega)imes(S^2,omega)$ endowed with the anti-symplectic involution $auimesau$, and study the space of monotone anti-invariant symplectic forms on this four-manifold. We show that this space is disconnected. In addition, during the course of the proof, we produce a diffeomorphism of the grassmannian (2,4) which induces the identity map on all homology and homotopy groups, but which is not homotopic to the identity.
