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