Nov 4, 2013 at 21:31 comment added A random mathematician The result I quoted is not proved in Smirnov's paper. He mentions it as a general result with the same "theme". I have a fairly good understanding of BV functions but it doesn't seem to be enough to understand what he says.

Nov 4, 2013 at 21:05 comment added Deane Yang There's also a beautiful book by Giusti called Minimal surfaces and functions of bounded variation. I don't know if he discusses currents explicitly but he does define and explore the properties of BV functions and their derivatives.
Nov 4, 2013 at 21:03 comment added Deane Yang Smirnov claims that his paper can be read and understood without using currents (i.e., geometric measure theory). Perhaps you should try skipping this sentence and see how far you can get with the paper. The paper, by avoiding geometric measure theory, has to derive some of the machinery from scratch. That's not always so easy to follow but in principle it's self-contained.
