Abstract:

In this article we prove that each integral cycle $T$ in an oriented Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ can be approximated in flat norm by an integral cycle in the same homology class which is a smooth submanifold $\Sigma$ of nearly the same area, up to a singular set of codimension 5. Moreover, if the homology class $\tau$ is representable by a smooth submanifold, then $\Sigma$ can be chosen free of singularities.
