    In a series of six papers the author gives a complete picture of special Lagrangian submanifolds in \({\mathbb C}^m\). This is the first paper and is devoted to special Lagrangian \(m\)-folds with large symmetry groups. The main results concern special Lagrangian cones in \(\mathbb{C}^m\) invariant under a subgroup \(G\) in \(SU(m)\) isomorphic to \(U(1)^{m-2}\). Namely, writing the special Lagrangian equation as an ODE in \(G\)-orbits and solving this ODE, a large family of distinct \(G\)-invariant special Lagrangian cones on \(T^{m-1}\) in \({\mathbb{C}}^m\) is obtained. These examples are interesting as local models for singularities of special Lagrangian submanifolds of Calabi-Yau manifolds and also needed to understand mirror symmetry and the SYZ conjecture [\textit{A. Strominger, S.-T. Yau} and \textit{E. Zaslow}, Nucl. Phys., B 479, 243-259 (1996; Zbl 0896.14024)].
