Sep 3, 2023 at 11:41 comment added Neil Strickland If we regard $T$ as $\{(z,w)\in\mathbb{C}^2:|z|=|w|=1\}$ and $S^4$ as $\mathbb{C}^2\cup\{\infty\}$ then for $n\in\mathbb{Z}$ we can define $f_n(z,w)=(z^n,(z,w))$; these are all different homotopy classes.
Sep 3, 2023 at 11:40 comment added Marco Golla So maybe the question should be "does homotopy imply isotopy for 2-tori in $S^1\times S^4$?".
Sep 3, 2023 at 11:24 comment added Danny Ruberman To expand a bit on @Marco's comment, you presumably mean isotopy where you wrote homotopy.
Sep 3, 2023 at 7:42 comment added Marco Golla There are 2-tori that are not null-homotopic: the map induced on $pi_1$ can be trivial (e.g. "local" tori) or non-trivial (e.g. the product $S^1\times S^1 \subset S^1\times S^4$).
