Oh's conjecture that the Clifford torus $L_n$ in $\\mathbb{C}P^n$ minimizes volume in its Hamiltonian deformation class. We show that there exist explicit positive constants $a_n$ depending on the dimension with $a_2=3/\\pi$ such that for any Lagrangian torus $L$ in the Hamiltonian class of $L_n$ we have $vol(L) \\geq a_n vol (L_n)$. The proof uses the recent work of C.H. Cho on Floer homology of the Clifford tori. A formula from integral geometry enables us to derive the estimate. We wish to point out that a general lower bound on the volume of $L$ exists from the work of C. Viterbo. Our lower bound $a_2= 3/\\pi$ is the best one we know.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-11-26T00:07:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "clifford torus", "ohs conjecture", "hamiltonian deformation class", "general lower bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....11460G" } } }
