Finsler currents

Abstract

We propose a slight variant of Ambrosio and Kirchheim's definition of a metric current. We show that with this new definition it is possible to obtain certain volume functionals from Finsler geometry as mass measures of currents. As an application, we obtain a whole family of extendibly convex $n$-volume densities. This family includes the mass* and the circumscribed Riemannian volume densities.
