Abstract

This note is motivated by Y.G. Oh's conjecture that the Clifford torus Ln in CPn minimizes volume in its Hamiltonian deformation class. We show that there exist explicit positive constants an depending on the dimension with a2=3/π such that for any Lagrangian torus L in the Hamiltonian class of Ln we have vol(L) ≥ an vol (Ln). 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 a2= 3/π is the best one we know.
