Abstract

We endow each closed, orientable Alexandrov space $(X, d)$ with an integral current $T$ of weight equal to $1 , \partial T = 0$ and $\operatorname{set}(T) = X$, in other words, we prove that $(X, d, T)$ is an integral current space with no boundary. Combining this result with a result of Li and Perales, we show that non-collapsing sequences of these spaces with uniform lower curvature and diameter bounds admit subsequences whose Gromov–Hausdorff and intrinsic flat limits agree.
