Abstract
Suppose is an almost simple group containing a subgroup isomorphic to the three-dimensional integer Heisenberg group. For example any finite index subgroup of is such a group. The main result of this paper is that every action of on a closed oriented surface by area preserving diffeomorphisms factors through a finite group.
