The Space-Time Connectivity Theorem for Normal Currents

Abstract

This work establishes a Space-Time Connectivity Theorem for normal currents. In analogy with classical results of Federer and Fleming, this result allows one to witness the weak* convergence of a uniformly bounded sequence of boundaryless normal currents with a space-time normal current that connects the elements of the sequence to their limit. The space-time setting is distinguished from the classical case in that this connecting current has a time coordinate and thus constitutes a progressive-in-time way to deform an element of the sequence to the limit.
