In mathematics, the term "current" can refer to a concept in the field of differential geometry and mathematical analysis, particularly within the context of distribution theory and the theory of differential forms. A current generalizes the notion of a function and can be thought of as a functional that acts on differential forms. **Key Points about Currents:** 1. **Definition**: A current is a continuous linear functional that acts on a space of differential forms.
