contents Let $M_p$ be a circle bundle with first Chern class $p[ω]$ over a closed $4n$-dimensional integral symplectic manifold $\bigl(\overline{M},ω\bigr)$. Equivalently, $M_p$ is a closed contact $(4n+1)$-manifold whose Reeb orbits are all closed and have the same period. For a metric $g$ on $M_p$ compatible with the symplectic structure and the geometry of the circle fiber, we use Wodzicki-Chern-Simons forms on the loop space $LM_p$ to prove that $π_1({\rm Isom}(M_p,g))$ is infinite for ${|p| \gg 0}$. We also give the first high-dimensional examples of nonvanishing Wodzicki-Pontryagin forms.
