Abstract: We prove that every one-dimensional real Ambrosio-Kirchheim normal current in a Polish (i.e. complete separable metric) space can be naturally represented as an integral of simpler currents associated to Lipschitz curves. As a consequence a representation of every such current with zero boundary (i.e. a cycle) as an integral of so-called elementary solenoids (which are, very roughly speaking, more or less the same as asymptotic cycles introduced by S. Schwartzman)is obtained. The latter result on cycles is in fact a generalization of the analogous result proven by S. Smirnov for classical Whitney currents in a Euclidean space. The same results are true for every complete metric space under suitable set-theoretic assumptions.

Review text

In their paper [\textit{E. Paolini} and \textit{E. Stepanov}, J. Funct. Anal. 263, No. 11, 3358--3390 (2012; Zbl 1254.49027)], the authors have shown that every acyclic normal one-dimensional current in a complete metric space can naturally be decomposed into curves, the decomposition preserving the mass and the boundary mass. In the present paper, the authors obtain a similar decomposition result for all real one-dimensional metric currents. The result is obtained in Theorem 3.1 and in the Corollary 3.3. Next, the authors prove that a one-dimensional Ambrosio-Kirchheim normal current in a complete separable metric space can be naturally represented as integral of simpler currents associated to Lipschitz curves. A current with zero boundary (cycle) can be represented as an integral of elementary solenoid.
