Abstract

Let M be a Kähler surface and Σ be a closed symplectic surface which is smoothly immersed in M. Let α be the Kähler angle of Σ in M. We first deduce the Euler-Lagrange equation of the functional L=Σ1cosαdμ in the class of symplectic surfaces. It is cos3αH=(J(Jcosα)), where H is the mean curvature vector of Σ in M, J is the complex structure compatible with the Kähler form ω in M, which is an elliptic equation. We call such a surface a symplectic critical surface. We show that, if M is a Kähler-Einstein surface with nonnegative scalar curvature, each symplectic critical surface is holomorphic. We also study the topological properties of the symplectic critical surfaces.
