We study the graph property for Lagrangian minimizing submanifolds of the geodesic flow of a Riemannian metric in the torus $ (T^{n},g) $, $ n>2 $. It is well known that the transitivity of the geodesic flow in a minimizing Lagrangian submanifold implies the graph property. We replace the transitivity by three kind of assumptions: (1) $ r $-density of the set of recurrent orbits for some $ r>0 $ depending on $ g $, (2) $ r $-density of the limit set, (3) every point is nonwandering. Then we show that a Lagrangian, minimizing torus satisfying one of such assumptions is a graph.

Keywords: Geodesic flow, Birkhoff theorems, global minimizers, Lagrangian graphs.
