Abstract

In this paper we show that two Lagrangian graphs over the torus in ℂⁿ with large Lagrangian phase can be connected via Lipschitz continuous geodesic with respect to the L² metric on the space of Lagrangian submanifolds. In particular, the geodesic for Lagrangian graphs over the torus in ℂⁿ can be formulated as a degenerate elliptic equation, and we construct geodesic by solving the corresponding Dirichlet problem.
