Abstract

We show that a closed weakly-monotone symplectic manifold of dimension 2n which has minimal Chern number greater than or equal to \(n+1\) and admits a Hamiltonian toric pseudo-rotation is necessarily monotone and its quantum homology is isomorphic to that of the complex projective space. As a consequence when \(n=2\), the manifold is symplectomorphic to \({\mathbb {C}}P^2\).
