In this paper we address the following question regarding the regularity of geodesics in the space of K\"ahler potentials. Given a geodesic which is highly regular, and has smooth boundary value, can we expect that it is actually smooth? We…

A well known consequence of the Wirtinger inequality is that in a Kaehler surface a holomorphic curve is an area minimizer in its homology class. In light of this result it is natural, given a Kaehler surface, to investigate the relation…
