Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the validity of Stokes' Theorem for singular submanifolds and differential forms with singularities in Euclidean space. The results are presented in the context of Lebesgue Integration, but their proofs involve techniques from gauge integration in the spirit of R.~Henstock, J.~Kurzweil and W.~F.~Pfeffer. We manage to prove a generalized Stokes' Theorem on integral currents of dimension mm whose singular sets have finite m1m-1 dimensional intrinsic Minkowski content. This condition applies in particular to codimension 11 mass minimizing integral currents with smooth boundary and to semi-algebraic chains. Conversely, we give an example of integral current of dimension 22 in R3\mathbb{R}^3, with only one singular point, to which our version of Stokes' Theorem does not apply.
