Abstract

Let C2\mathbb C^2 be the standard symplectic vector space and L(a,b)C2L(a,b) \subset \mathbb C^2 be the product Lagrangian torus, that is, a product of two circles of areas aa and bb in C\mathbb C. We give a complete answer to the question of finding the minimal ball into which these Lagrangians may be squeezed by a Hamiltonian flow. The result is that there is full rigidity when ab2aa \leq b \leq 2a, which disappears almost completely when b>2ab > 2a.
