Abstract: We consider the possible concentration in phase space of a sequence of eigenfunctions (or, more generally, a quasimode) of an operator whose principal symbol has completely integrable Hamilton flow. The semiclassical wavefront set $W{F}_h$ of such a sequence is invariant under the Hamilton flow. In principle this may allow concentration of $W{F}_h$ along positive codimension sub-tori of a Liouville torus $mathcalL$ if there exist rational relations among the frequencies of the flow on $mathcalL.$ We show that, subject to non-degeneracy hypotheses, this concentration may not in fact occur. The main tools are the spreading of Lagrangian regularity on $mathcalL$ previously shown by Vasy and the author, and an analysis of higher order transport equations satisfied by the principal symbol of a Lagrangian quasimode.
