Abstract

In this paper we investigate the notion of flat current in the metric spaces setting, and in particular we provide a definition of size of a flat current with possibly infinite mass. Exploiting the special nature of the 0-dimensional slices and the theory of metric-space valued BV functions we prove that a k-current with finite size T sits on a countably Hk-rectifiable set, denoted by set(T). Moreover we relate the size measure of T to the geometry of the tangent space Tan(k)(set(T),x).
