Abstract

Let M be a closed 4-manifold with a free circle action. If the orbit manifold N3 satisfies an appropriate fibering condition, then we show how to represent a cone in H2(M; ℝ) by symplectic forms. This generalizes earlier constructions by Thurston, Bouyakoub and Fernández et al. In the case that M is the product 4-manifold S1 × N, our construction complements our previous results and allows us to determine completely the symplectic cone of such 4-manifolds.
