Abstract:

We show that geometric integrals of the type $\int_\Omega f\, d g^1\wedge \, d g^2$ can be defined over a two-dimensional domain $\Omega$ when the functions $f$, $g^1$, $g^2\colon \mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}$ are just H\"{o}lder continuous with sufficiently large H\"{o}lder exponents and the boundary of $\Omega$ has sufficiently small dimension, by summing over a refining sequence of partitions the discrete Stratonovich or It\^{o} type terms. This leads to a two-dimensional extension of the classical Young integral that coincides with the integral introduced recently by R.~Z\"{u}st. We further show that the Stratonovich-type summation allows to weaken the requirements on H\"{o}lder exponents of the map $g=(g^1,g^2)$ when $f(x)=F(x,g(x))$ with $F$ sufficiently regular. The technique relies upon an extension of the sewing lemma from Rough paths theory to alternating functions of two-dimensional oriented simplices, also proven in the paper.
