Abstract: A rigidity result for normal rectifiable

k

-chains in

m a t h b b R^{n}

with coefficients in an Abelian normed group is established. Given some decompositions

k = k_{1} + k_{2}

,

n = n_{1} + n_{2}

and some rectifiable

k

-chain

A

in

m a t h b b R^{n}

, we consider the properties:(1) The tangent planes to

m u_{A}

split as

T_{x} m u_{A} = L^{1} (x) i m e s L^{2} (x)

for some

k_{1}

-plane

L^{1} (x) s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n_{1}}

and some

k_{2}

-plane

L^{2} (x) s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n_{2}}

.(2)

A = A_{v e r t S i g m a^{1} i m e s S i g m a^{2}}

for some sets

S i g m a^{1} s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n_{1}}

,

S i g m a^{2} s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n_{2}}

such that

S i g m a^{1}

is

k_{1}

-rectifiable and

S i g m a^{2}

is

k_{2}

-rectifiable (we say that

A

is

(k_{1}, k_{2})

-rectifiable).The main result is that for normal chains, (1) implies (2), the converse is immediate. In the proof we introduce the new groups of tensor flat chains (or

(k_{1}, k_{2})

-chains) in

m a t h b b R^{n_{1}} i m e s m a t h b b R^{n_{2}}

which generalize Fleming's

G

-flat chains. The other main tool is White's rectifiable slices theorem. We show that on the one hand any normal rectifiable chain satisfying~(1) identifies with a normal rectifiable

(k_{1}, k_{2})

-chain and that on the other hand any normal rectifiable

(k_{1}, k_{2})

-chain is

(k_{1}, k_{2})

-rectifiable.
