Symplectic mapping-torus conjecture for reducible fibers

Let X=YS1X=Y\rtimes S^1 be a symplectic 44-manifold, with YY a reducible 33-manifold.

Symplectic reducible-fiber conjecture. Then Y=S2×S1Y=S^2\times S^1 and

X=S2×T2.X=S^2\times T^2.

This conjecture predicts that a symplectic mapping torus with reducible fiber can only be the product S2×T2S^2\times T^2. The supplied text gives no resolution or partial result, so its status remains open.
