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 = Σ 1 cos α d μ in the class of symplectic surfaces. It is cos 3 α H = ( J ( J cos α ) ) , 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.

We first deduce the Euler-Lagrange equation of the functional $L=\int _{\Sigma }\frac{1}{\cos \alpha }d\mu $ in the class of symplectic surfaces. It is $\cos ^3\alpha H=(J(J\nabla \cos \alpha )^\top )^\bot $, where $H$ is the mean curvature vector of $\Sigma $ in $M$, $J$ is the complex structure compatible with the Kähler form $\omega $ in $M$, which is an elliptic equation.
