Least-gradient primitive conjecture for measured laminations

Let MM be the surface under consideration and let λ\lambda be an arbitrary oriented lamination on MM with a transverse measure. Let v~:M~R\tilde v:\tilde M\to\mathbb R be a primitive of the Ruelle--Sullivan current associated with the transverse measure. For any ball BM~B\subset\tilde M, restrict v~\tilde v to BB. Least-gradient primitive conjecture. The restriction v~B\tilde v\big|_B is of least gradient. The proposed partial converse is motivated by the expectation that the boundaries of the superlevel sets {v~t}\{\tilde v\ge t\} in BB are geodesics, which should imply local least-gradient behavior.
