Abstract

That is, given a compact set BRnB \subset \mathbb{R}^n (the boundary) and a subgroup LL of the \v{C}ech homology group Hˇd1(B;G)\check{H}_{d-1}(B;G) of dimension dd over some commutative group GG, we find a compact set EBE \supset B such that the image of LL by the natural map Hˇd1(B;G)Hˇd1(S;G)\check{H}_{d-1}(B;G)\to\check{H}_{d-1}(S;G) induced by the inclusion BEB \to E, is reduced to {0}\{ 0 \}, and such that the Hausdorff measure Hd(EB)\mathcal{H}^{d}(E \setminus B) is minimal under these constraints. Thus we have no restriction on the group GG or the dimensions 0<d<n0 < d < n.
