Uniqueness of extremal Lagrangian tori in the four-dimensional disc
read the original abstract
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 quantity is bounded from above by $\pi/n$ for a Lagrangian torus inside the $2n$-dimensional unit disc equipped with the standard symplectic form. A Lagrangian torus for which this upper bound is attained is called extremal. We show that an extremal Lagrangian torus inside the four-dimensional unit disc is contained in the boundary $\partial D^4=S^3$, and is hence Hamiltonian isotopic to the product torus $S^1_{1/\sqrt{2}} \times S^1_{1/\sqrt{2}} \subset S^3$. This provides an answer to a question by L. Lazzarini in the four-dimensional case.
