Abstract
We describe the structure of the asymptotic lines near an inflection point of a Lagrangian surface, proving that in the generic situation it corresponds to two of the three possible cases when the discriminant curve has a cusp singularity. Besides being stable in general, inflection points are proved to exist on a compact Lagrangian surface whenever its Euler characteristic does not vanish.
