Rectifiable Current


The space of currents arising from rectifiable sets by integrating a differential form is called the space of two-dimensional rectifiable currents. For C a closed bounded rectifiable curve of a number of components in R^3, C bounds a rectifiable current of least area. The theory of rectifiable currents generalizes to m-D surfaces in R^n.
