One-dimensional and codimension one homology of metric manifolds

Abstract

We compare singular homology and homology via integral currents in metric spaces that are homeomorphic to smooth manifolds. For such spaces, we provide sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of a surjective homomorphism from the codimension one homology group via integral currents to the codimension one singular homology group. Moreover, we show that a one-dimensional isoperimetric inequality for integral currents implies that the one-dimensional homology groups coincide.
