Abstract

This work establishes the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the initial-value problem for the geometric transport equation ddtTt+LbTt=0 \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} t}T_t+\mathcal{L}_b T_t=0 in the class of kk-dimensional integral or normal currents TtT_t (tt being the time variable) under the natural assumption of Lipschitz regularity of the driving vector field bb. Our argument relies crucially on the notion of decomposability bundle introduced recently by Alberti and Marchese. In the particular case of 00-currents, this also yields a new proof of the uniqueness for the continuity equation in the class of signed measures.
