A Symplectic Isotopy of a Dehn Twist on CP^n x CP^{n+1}
Abstract
The complex manifold CP^n x CP^{n+1} with symplectic form σ_μ=σ_{CP^n}+μσ_{CP^{n+1}}, where σ_{CP^n} and σ_{CP^{n+1}} are normalized Fubini-Study forms, n a natural number and μ>1 a real number, contains a natural Lagrangian sphere L^μ. We prove that the Dehn twist along L^μ is symplectically isotopic to the identity for all μ>1. This isotopy can be chosen so that it pointwise fixes a complex hypersurface in CP^n x CP^{n+1} and lifts to the blow-up of CP^n x CP^{n+1} along a complex n-dimensional submanifold.
