We prove that every one-dimensional real Ambrosio-Kirchheim normal current in a Polish (i.e. complete separable metric) space can be naturally represented as an integral of simpler currents associated to Lipschitz curves. As a consequence a…

We prove that every acyclic normal one-dimensional real Ambrosio-Kirchheim current in a Polish (i.e. complete separable metric) space can be decomposed in curves, thus generalizing the analogous classical result proven by S. Smirnov in…

We establish a general superposition principle for curves of measures solving a continuity equation on metric spaces without any smooth structure nor underlying measure, representing them as marginals of measures concentrated on the…

Recently, a new embedding/compactness theorem for integral currents in a sequence of metric spaces has been established by the second author. We present a version of this result for locally integral currents in a sequence of pointed metric…

A comprehensive study of one-dimensional metric currents and their relationship to the geometry of metric spaces is presented. We resolve the one-dimensional flat chain conjecture in this general setting, by proving that its validity is…

We prove the $1$-dimensional flat chain conjecture in any complete and quasiconvex metric space, namely that metric $1$-currents can be approximated in mass by normal $1$-currents. The proof relies on a new Banach space isomorphism theorem,…

By Gromov's compactness theorem for metric spaces, every uniformly compact sequence of metric spaces admits an isometric embedding into a common compact metric space in which a subsequence converges with respect to the Hausdorff distance.…

In 2000, Ambrosio and Kirchheim, with the paper "Currents in metric spaces", settled the foundations of a theory of currents on metric spaces and used it to pose and solve Plateau's problem in a wide class of Banach spaces. Following an…

We prove that a Sobolev map from a Riemannian manifold into a complete metric space pushes forward almost every compactly supported integral current to an Ambrosio--Kirchheim integral current in the metric target, where "almost every" is…

It is well known that in compact local Lipschitz neighborhood retracts in Euclidean space flat convergence for integer rectifiable currents amounts just to weak convergence. In the present paper we extend this result to integral currents in…

We introduce and study co-dimension one area-minimizing locally rectifiable currents $T$ with $C^{1,\alpha}$ tangentially immersed boundary: $\partial T$ is locally a finite sum of orientable co-dimension two submanifolds which only…

We study $n$-dimensional area-minimizing currents $T$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1},$ with boundary $\partial T$ satisfying two properties: $\partial T$ is locally a finite sum of $(n-1)$-dimensional $C^{1,\alpha}$ orientable submanifolds which only…

We relate Ambrosio-Kirchheim metric currents to Alberti representations and Weaver derivations. In particular, given a metric current $T$, we show that if the module $\mathscr{X}(\|T\|)$ of Weaver derivations is finitely generated, then $T$…

This paper proves an atomic decomposition of the space of $1$-dimensional metric currents without boundary, in which the atoms are specified by closed Lipschitz curves with uniform control on their Morrey norms. Our argument relies on a…

Local symmetries are spatial symmetries present in a subdomain of a complex system. By using and extending a framework of so-called non-local currents that has been established recently, we show that one can gain knowledge about the…

We construct Lipschitz $Q$-valued functions which approximate carefully integral currents when their cylindrical excess is small and they are almost minimizing in a suitable sense. This result is used in two subsequent works to prove the…

We examine the theory of metric currents of Ambrosio and Kirchheim in the setting of spaces admitting differentiable structures in the sense of Cheeger and Keith. We prove that metric forms which vanish in the sense of Cheeger on a set must…

We consider the notion of metric spaces being locally Lipschitz contractible introduced by Yamaguchi, and a category of metric spaces satisfying this condition. Many objects in metric geometry including CAT-spaces and Alexandrov spaces,…

Every integral current in a locally compact metric space $X$ can be approximated by a Lipschitz chain with respect to the normal mass, provided that Lipschitz maps into $X$ can be extended slightly.

We prove that for continuous Lorentz-Finsler spaces timelike completeness implies inextendibility. Furthermore, we prove that under suitable locally Lipschitz conditions on the Finsler fundamental function the continuous causal curves that…
