Abstract: We study geometric properties of the Lagrangian self-shrinking tori in $mathbb{R}^4$. When the area is bounded above uniformly, we prove that the entropy for the Lagrangian self-shrinking tori can only take finitely many values; this is done by deriving a {L}ojasiewicz-Simon type gradient inequality for the branched conformal self-shrinking tori and then combining with the compactness theorem in cite{CMa}. When the area bound is small, we show that any Lagrangian self-shrinking torus in $mathbb{R}^4$ with small area is embedded with uniform curvature estimates, and the space of such tori is compact. Using the finiteness of entropy values, we construct a piecewise Lagrangian mean curvature flow for Lagrangian immersed tori in $mathbb{R}^4$, along which the Lagrangian condition is preserved, area is decreasing, and the type I singularities that are compact with a fixed area upper bound can be perturbed away in finite steps. This is a Lagrangian version of the construction for embedded surfaces in $mathbb{R}^3$ in cite{CM}.
