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,…

This survey summarizes recent progress on the flat chain conjecture, which asserts the equivalence between metric currents and flat chains with finite mass in the Euclidean space. In particular, we focus on recent work showing that the…

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…

The aim of this paper is to show two applications of metric currents to complex analysis. After recalling the basic definitions, we give a detailed proof of the comparison theorem between metric currents and classical ones on a manifold. In…

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…

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…

Metric currents are, in a certain sense, a metric analogous of flat currents, therefore are related to the geometry of the space and of their support. In this short note, we try to give some evidence for the previous statement, by showing…

We prove that every one-dimensional locally normal metric current, intended in the sense of U. Lang and S. Wenger, admits a nice integral representation through currents associated to (possibly unbounded) curves with locally finite length,…

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 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…

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.

Based on Smirnov's decomposition theorem we prove that every rectifiable $1$-current $T$ with finite mass $\mathbb{M}(T)$ and finite mass $\mathbb{M}(\partial T)$ of its boundary $\partial T$ can be approximated in mass by a sequence of…

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…

Aim of this paper is a finer analysis of the group of flat chains with coefficients in $Z_p$ introduced in a recent paper by Ambrosio-Katz, by taking quotients of the group of integer rectifiable currents, along the lines of the the Ziemer…

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.…

We construct new examples of normal (metric) currents using inverse systems of cube complexes. For any $N\ge 2$ we provide examples of $N$-dimensional normal currents whose associated vector fields are simple, and whose supports are purely…

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 consider metrics which are preserved under a $p$-Wasserstein transport map, up to a possible contraction. In the case $p=1$ this corresponds to a metric which is uniformly curved in the sense of coarse Ricci curvature. We investigate the…

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…

We present some results concerning currents of integration on finite-dimensional analytic spaces in Hilbert spaces, using the setting of metric currents. In particular, we obtain the characterization of such currents as positive closed…
