Half-dimensional torus fibration vs Lagrangian torus fibration

$begingroup$


Assume we have a closed symplectic manifold $M$ which is the total space of a smooth fibration by half-dimensional tori. Can we infer that $M$ is the total space of a smooth fibration by Lagrangian tori?

          This doesn't need to hold. For example, if one takes a $(T^4,omega)$ with a constant symplectic structure $omega$, in order for it to have a fibration by Lagrangian tori one should be able to find a homologically non-trivial $T^2subset T^4$ such that $int_{omega} T^2=0$ which is impossible for general $omega$.



          One can also give counter-examples when a half-dimensional torus bundle exists on the symplectic manifold but no Lagrangian torus bundle exists for any symplectic structure on the manifold. To construct such an example consider $M^4$ that fibers over $B=T^2$ with a fiber $F=T^2$ such that the action of $mathbb Z^2=pi_1(B)$ on $H_1(F)=mathbb Z^2$ contains a hyperbolic element. Such a manifold is symplectic by Thurston, but it is not a total space of a Lagrangian torus fibration by the classification of such fibrations in dimension $4$.



          Just to add, that the classification of Lagrangian $T^2$ fibrations was done in

          And there is as well a very nice paper classifying Lagrangian $T^2$ fibrations over the Klein bottle. As you can see from Theorem 2.1 stated in the paper, the representation of $pi_1(B)$ in $H^1(F)=mathbb R^2$ (for Lagragian $T^2$ fibrations over $T^2$) is unipotent.
