Topology of the symplectomorphism groups of $S^2\times S^2$
In this talk we discuss the topology of the symplectomorphism group of a product of two $2$-dimensional spheres where the ratio of the areas of the spheres is bigger than $1$. We compute the homotopy type of this symplectic manifold and we how that the group of symplectomorphisms contains two finite dimensional Lie groups generating the homotopy.
