Abstract
Motivated by the question whether a round disk can be realized as the rotation set of a torus diffeomorphism, we study the roundness of rotation sets of a parametric family of torus diffeomorphisms , where the parameter ranges over irrational numbers in . Each is a Kwapisz-like diffeomorphism with a 2-dimensional non-polygonal rotation set whose extreme point set contains exactly four (two-sided) accumulation points. We define the roundness of as the ratio , and give its upper and lower bounds in terms of . is neither monotone nor continuous.
