Proof.
By Lemma 2.1 the volume mass is uniformly upper bounded. By Federer-Fleming compactness, subsequentially in the flat topology for some Lagrangian integral current homologous to . This implies for any test function , even though may be strictly greater than , as we do not assume varifold convergence.
We focus on a coordinate ball. The -currents can be viewed as a collection of signed measures . Each of these measures are bounded by the measure
|
|
|
whose total mass is uniformly bounded for all . By the weak compactness of measures, subsequentially these signed measures converge, and the limiting signed measures have Radon-Nykodim derivatives with respect to the measure :
|
|
|
Thus inside the coordinate ball, the currents converge to :
|
|
|
where is any test -form.
Now is an integral current, so -a.e. there is a well defined tangent space and a local integer multiplicity .
Recall a blow up limit of an -current at a point refers to a subsequential limit of the currents on as :
|
|
|
For a.e , there is a unique blow up limit for the current , which is
|
|
|
whose component signed measures are just constant multiples of the Lebesgue measure on .
Observe that the weak formulation (54) passes to the limit:
|
|
|
Thus the blow up limit of at a.e. is in fact a closed current. Consequently, the polyvector
|
|
|
must be a pure tensor lying in . Hence
|
|
|
for some -function .
