Abstract: We compare Hofer's geometries on two spaces associated with a closed symplectic manifold M. The first space is the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. The second space L consists of all Lagrangian submanifolds of $MimesM$ which are exact Lagrangian isotopic to the diagonal. We show that in the case of a closed symplectic manifold with $p{i}_2(M)=0$, the canonical embedding of Ham(M) into L, f $mapsto$ graph(f) is not an isometric embedding, although it preserves Hofer's length of smooth paths.
