Decomposition of integral metric currents

Metric Geometry 2021-04-16 v1 Functional Analysis

Abstract

In the setting of complete metric spaces, we prove that integral currents can be decomposed as a sum of indecomposable components. In the special case of one-dimensional integral currents, we also show that the indecomposable ones are exactly those associated with injective Lipschitz curves or injective Lipschitz loops, therefore extending Federer's characterisation to metric spaces. Moreover, some applications of our main results will be discussed.
