%0 Journal Article %T Symplectic Floer homology and the mapping class group %A Paul Seidel %J Mathematics %D 2000 %I arXiv %X We consider symplectic Floer homology in the lowest nontrivial dimension, that is to say, for area-preserving diffeomorphisms of surfaces. Particular attention is paid to the quantum cap product; we show that it distinguishes the trivial element of the mapping class group from any nontrivial one. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0010301v2
