Abstract: Let $Delta$ be a Delzant polytope in ${mathbbR}^n$ and $mathbfbin{mathbbZ}^n$. Let $E$ denote the symplectic fibration over $S^2$ determined by the pair $(Delta,,mathbfb)$. Under certain hypotheses, we prove the equivalence between the fact that $(Delta,,mathbfb)$ is a mass linear pair (D. McDuff, S. Tolman, {em Polytopes with mass linear functions. I.} Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN 8 (2010) 1506-1574.) and the vanishing of a characteristic number of $E$. Denoting by $mHam(M_{Delta})$ the Hamiltonian group of the symplectic manifold defined by $Delta$, we determine loops in $mHam(M_{Delta})$ that define infinite cyclic subgroups in $p{i}_1(mHam(M_{Delta}))$, when $Delta$ satisfies any of the following conditions: (i) it is the trapezium associated with a Hirzebruch surface, (ii) it is a $Delt{a}_p$ bundle over $Delt{a}_1$, (iii) $Delta$ is the truncated simplex associated with the one point blow up of $mathbbC{P}^n$.

Summary: Let \(\Delta\) be a Delzant polytope in \(\mathbb R^n\) and \(\mathbf{b} \in \mathbb Z^n\). Let \(E\) denote the symplectic fibration over \(S^2\) determined by the pair \((\Delta, \mathbf{b})\). Under certain hypotheses, we prove the equivalence between the fact that \((\Delta, \mathbf{b})\) is a mass linear pair [\textit{D. McDuff} and \textit{S. Tolman}, Int. Math. Res. Not. 2010, No.~8, 1506--1574 (2010; Zbl 1202.52010)] and the vanishing of a characteristic number of \(E\). Denoting by \(\text{Ham}(M_{\Delta})\), the Hamiltonian group of the symplectic manifold defined by \(\Delta\), we determine loops in \(\text{Ham}(M_{\Delta})\) that define infinite cyclic subgroups in \(\pi_1(\text{Ham}(M_{\Delta}))\) when \(\Delta\) satisfies any of the following conditions: (i) it is the trapezium associated with a Hirzebruch surface; (ii) it is a \(\Delta_p\) bundle over \(\Delta_1\); and (iii) \(\Delta\) is the truncated simplex associated with the one point blowup of \(\mathbb C P^n\).
