contents We prove that for any two Riemannian metrics $σ_1, σ_2$ on the unit disk, a homeomorphism $\partial\mathbb{D}\to\partial\mathbb{D}$ extends to at most one quasiconformal minimal diffeomorphism $(\mathbb{D},σ_1)\to (\mathbb{D},σ_2)$ with $L^1$ Hopf differential. For minimal Lagrangian diffeomorphisms between hyperbolic disks, the result is known, but this is the first proof that does not use anti-de Sitter geometry. We show that the result fails without the $L^1$ assumption in variable curvature. The key input for our proof is the uniqueness of solutions for a certain Plateau problem in a product of trees.

We prove that for any two Riemannian metrics $σ_1, σ_2$ on the unit disk, a homeomorphism $\partial\mathbb{D}\to\partial\mathbb{D}$ extends to at most one quasiconformal minimal diffeomorphism $(\mathbb{D},σ_1)\to (\mathbb{D},σ_2)$ with $L^1$ Hopf differential. For minimal Lagrangian diffeomorphisms between hyperbolic disks, the result is known, but this is the first proof that does not use anti-de Sitter geometry.
