Abstract.

We prove that symplectic maps between Riemann surfaces L, M of constant, nonpositive and equal curvature converge to minimal symplectic maps, if the Lagrangian angle \(\alpha\) for the corresponding Lagrangian submanifold in the cross product space \(L\times M\) satisfies \(\text{osc}(\alpha)\le \pi\). If one considers a 4-dimensional Kähler-Einstein manifold \(\overline{M}\) of nonpositive scalar curvature that admits two complex structures J, K which commute and assumes that \(L\subset\overline{M}\) is a compact oriented Lagrangian submanifold w.r.t. J such that the Kähler form \(\overline{\kappa}\) w.r.t.K restricted to L is positive and \(\text{osc}(\alpha)\le \pi\), then L converges under the mean curvature flow to a minimal Lagrangian submanifold which is calibrated w.r.t. \(\overline{\kappa}\).
