Unrectifiable normal currents in Euclidean spaces

Abstract

We construct in Rk+2\mathbb{R}^{k+2} a kk-dimensional simple normal current whose support is purely 22-unrectifiable. The result is sharp because the support of a normal current cannot be purely 11-unrectifiable and a (k+1)(k+1)-dimensional normal current can be represented as an integral of (k+1)(k+1)-rectifiable currents. This gives a negative answer to the (revised version) of a question of Frank Morgan (1984).

Gave proper credit to Frank Morgan for posing the question (1984) in the abstract and the intro
