The authors consider smooth isotropic immersions from the 2-dimensional torus into \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\), for \(n\geq 2\). When \(n=2\) the image of such map is an immersed Lagrangian torus of \(\mathbb{R}^4\). The authors prove that such isotropic immersions can be approximated by arbitrarily \(C^0\)-close piecewise linear isotropic maps. If \(n\geq 3\) the piecewise linear isotropic maps can be chosen so that they are piecewise linear isotropic immersions as well.
The proofs are obtained using analogies with an infinite dimensional moment map geometry due to Donaldson. As a byproduct of these considerations, the authors introduce a numerical flow in finite dimension, whose limits provide, from an experimental perspective, many examples of piecewise linear Lagrangian tori in \(\mathbb{R}^4\). The DMMF program, which is freely available, is based on the Euler method and shows the evolution equation of discrete surfaces in real time, as a movie.
