We study exotic Lagrangian tori in dimension four. In certain Stein domains $B_{dpq}$ (which naturally appear in almost toric fibrations) we find $d+1$ families of monotone Lagrangian tori which are mutually distinct, up to…

We define an simple invariant of an embedded nullhomologous Lagrangian torus and use this invariant to show that many symplectic 4-manifolds have infinitely many pairwise symplectically inequivalent nullhomologous Lagrangian tori. We…

We construct infinitely many families of monotone Lagrangian tori in $\mathbb{R}^6$, no two of which are related by Hamiltonian isotopies (or symplectomorphisms). These families are distinguished by the (arbitrarily large) numbers of…

The shape invariant of a symplectic manifold encodes the possible area classes of embedded Lagrangian tori. Potentially this is a powerful invariant, but for most manifolds the shape is unknown. We compute the shape for 4 dimensional…

We show that, up to Lagrangian isotopy, there is a unique Lagrangian torus inside each of the following uniruled symplectic four-manifolds: the symplectic vector space $\mathbb{R}^4$, the projective plane $\mathbb{C}P^2$, and the monotone…

In this paper we show that there exist simply connected symplectic 4-manifolds which contain infinitely many knotted lagrangian tori, i.e. lagrangian embeddings of tori that are homotopic but not isotopic. Moreover, the homology class they…

Can a given Lagrangian submanifold be realized as the fixed point set of an anti-symplectic involution? If so, it is called \emph{real}. We give an obstruction for a closed Lagrangian submanifold to be real in terms of the displacement…

Vianna constructed infinitely many exotic Lagrangian tori in the complex projective plane. We lift these tori to higher-dimensional projective spaces and show that they remain non-symplectomorphic. Our proof is elementary except for an…

Let $L$ be a closed Lagrangian submanifold of a symplectic manifold $(X,\omega)$. Cieliebak and Mohnke define the symplectic area of $L$ as the minimal positive symplectic area of a smooth $2$-disk in $X$ with boundary on $L$. An extremal…

We set up a topological framework for degenerations of symplectic manifolds into singular spaces paying a special attention to the behavior of Lagrangian manifolds and their (holomorphic) membranes. We show that degenerations into singular…

We construct monotone Lagrangian tori in the standard symplectic vector space, in the complex projective space and in products of spheres. We explain how to classify these Lagrangian tori up to symplectomorphism and Hamiltonian isotopy, and…

We prove the existence of a one-parameter family of nondisplaceable Lagrangian tori near a linear chain of Lagrangian 2-spheres in a symplectic 4-manifold. When the symplectic structure is rational we prove that the deformed Floer…

We construct almost toric fibrations (ATFs) on all del Pezzo surfaces, endowed with a monotone symplectic form. Except for $\mathbb{C}P^2 \# 1 \overline{\mathbb{C}P^2}$ and $\mathbb{C}P^2 \# 2 \overline{\mathbb{C}P^2}$ , we are able to get…

We study the dynamics of a symplectic twist map without conjugate points. We show that in a neighborhood of a totally periodic Lagrangian manifold, there exists a large family of invariant Lagrangian tori on which the twist map is…

Under certain topological assumptions, we show that two monotone Lagrangian submanifolds embedded in the standard symplectic vector space with the same monotonicity constant cannot link one another and that, individually, their smooth knot…

Let $\omega$ denote an area form on $S^2$. Consider the closed symplectic 4-manifold $M=(S^2\times S^2, A\omega \oplus a \omega)$ with $0<a<A$. We show that there are families of displaceable Lagrangian tori $L_{0,x},\, L_{1,x} \subset M$,…

We study the question of how many embedded symplectic or Lagrangian tori can represent the same homology class in a simply connected symplectic 4-manifold.

The following interesting quantity was introduced by K. Cieliebak and K. Mohnke for a Lagrangian submanifold $L$ of a symplectic manifold: the minimal positive symplectic area of a disc with boundary on $L$. They also showed that this…

We prove using symplectic field theory that if the suspension of a hyperbolic diffeomorphism of the two-torus Lagrangian embeds in a closed uniruled symplectic six-manifold, then its image contains the boundary of a symplectic disc with…

Product Lagrangian tori in standard symplectic space $R^{2n}$ were classified up to symplectomorphism in [Che96]. We extend this classification to tame symplectically aspherical symplectic manifolds. We show by examples that the asphericity…
