Uniqueness of invariant Lagrangian graphs in a homology or a cohomology class
Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze, Série 5, Tome 8 (2009) no. 4, pp. 659-680.

Given a smooth compact Riemannian manifold M and a Hamiltonian H on the cotangent space T * M, strictly convex and superlinear in the momentum variables, we prove uniqueness of certain “ergodic” invariant Lagrangian graphs within a given homology or cohomology class. In particular, in the context of quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems, our result implies global uniqueness of Lagrangian KAM tori with rotation vector ρ. This result extends generically to the C 0 -closure of KAM tori.
