Topology of Symplectomorphism Groups
Abstract:
I describe the topology of (the classifying space of) the symplectomorphism groups of a family of symplectic 4-manifolds. In particular, we calculate the integral cohomology of these classifying spaces. We also study the space of compatible complex structures on these symplectic manifolds and outline a proof showing that this space is contractible.
