Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian surfaces in C^2

Abstract

We study Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian surfaces in C^2, i.e. Lagrangian surfaces in C^2 which are stationary points of the area functional under smooth Hamiltonian variations. Using loop groups, we propose a formulation of the equation as a completely integrable system. We construct a Weierstrass type representation and produce all tori through either the integrable systems machinery or more direct arguments.
