Abstract

Under certain conditions of technical order, we show that closed connected Hamiltonian fibrations over symplectically uniruled manifolds are also symplectically uniruled. As a consequence, we partially extend to nontrivial Hamiltonian fibrations a result of Lu [Math. Res. Lett. 7 (2000) 383–387], stating that any trivial symplectic product of two closed symplectic manifolds with one of them being symplectically uniruled verifies the Weinstein Conjecture for closed separating hypersurfaces of contact type. The proof of our result is based on the product formula for Gromov–Witten invariants of Hamiltonian fibrations derived by the author in [arXiv 0904.1492].
