On some geometric properties of currents and Frobenius theorem (Q1687610)

Summary: In this note we announce some results, due to [the authors, ``On the geometric structure of normal and integral currents. I and II'', in preparation], on the structure of integral and normal currents, and their relation to Frobenius theorem. In particular we show that an integral current cannot be tangent to a distribution of planes which is nowhere involutive (Theorem 3.6), and that a normal current which is tangent to an involutive distribution of planes can be locally foliated in terms of integral currents (Theorem 4.3). This statement gives a partial answer to a question raised by Frank Morgan in 1984.
