Title: Lagrangian links in 4-manifolds

Abstract:  Consider the symplectic 4-manifold which is a product of two 2-spheres of different areas. We will show that there are disjoint Lagrangian tori T_1 and T_2 in this four-manifold which are separately displaceable by Hamiltonian isotopy, but such that their union is not displaceable.  This talk reports on joint work with Cheuk Yu Mak.
