Compactness for manifolds and integral currents with bounded diameter and volume

By Gromov??s compactness theorem for metric spaces, every uniformly compact sequence of metric spaces admits an isometric embedding into a common compact metric space in which a subsequence converges with respect to the Hausdorff distance. Working in the class of oriented k-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (with boundary) and, more generally, integral currents in metric spaces in the sense of Ambrosio?CKirchheim and replacing the Hausdorff distance with the filling volume or flat distance, we prove an analogous compactness theorem in which however we only assume uniform bounds on volume and diameter.
