A note on mean curvature, Maslov class and symplectic area of Lagrangian immersions

In this note we prove a simple relation between the mean curvature form, symplectic area, and the Maslov class of a Lagrangian immersion in a K"ahler-Einstein manifold. An immediate consequence is that in K"ahler-Einstein manifolds with positive scalar curvature, minimal Lagrangian immersions are monotone.
