Abstract

We show that the union of some circles in a closed Riemannian surface with positive genus is superheavy in the sense of Entov–Polterovich. By a result of Entov and Polterovich, this implies that the product of this union and the Clifford torus of $\mathbb{C}P^n$ with the Fubini–Study symplectic form cannot be displaced by any symplectomorphisms.
