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 give a new, elementary proof of the fact that metric 1-currents in the Euclidean space correspond to Federer-Fleming flat chains.

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,…

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.

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 show that Lang's Flat Chain Conjecture (that is, without requiring finite mass of the underlying currents) fails for metric $k$-currents in $\mathbb{R}^d$ whenever $d\geq 2$ and $k\in\{1, \dots, d\}$. In all other cases, it holds. The…

In this paper, we prove that every equivalence class in the quotient group of integral $1$-currents modulo $p$ in Euclidean space contains an integral current, with quantitative estimates on its mass and the mass of its boundary. Moreover,…

We generalize the notion of flat chains with arbitrary coefficient groups to Banach spaces and prove a sequential compactness result. We also remove the restriction that a flat chain have finite mass in order for its support to exist.

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…

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…

This note details how a recent structure theorem for normal $1$-currents proved by the first and third author allows to prove a conjecture of Cheeger concerning the structure of Lipschitz differentiability spaces. More precisely, we show…

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…

Simple demonstrations based on the equivalence principle are given of how a folded chain and a horizontal flat chain fall down when one chain end is fixed to a rigid support.
