The area form on is closed. For any closed two-form on a base, the twisted cotangent symplectic form is closed and nondegenerate: pairing a putative kernel vector first with vertical vectors kills its horizontal component, and then pairing with horizontal vectors kills its vertical component. Thus both and are symplectic.
The cotangent bundle deformation-retracts onto its zero section. Their cohomology classes satisfy
They are therefore not strongly isotopic.
Let be an orientation-reversing isometry. Then , while its cotangent lift preserves the canonical form and satisfies . Consequently
so the two forms are symplectomorphic.
