Rectifiable varifolds are a generalization of rectifiable sets in the sense that they allow for a density function to be defined on the set. They are also strictly connected to rectifiable currents, in fact to such a current one can always associate a varifold by putting aside the orientation.
Definitions
Definition 1 Let $U \subset \mathbb R^n$. A Rectifiable varifold of dimension $m$ in $U$ is a couple $(M, \theta)$, where $M\subset U$ is an $m$-dimensional Rectifiable set and $\theta\colon M \to \mathbb R_+$ is a $\mathcal H^m$ measurable function, called density function. A varifold is called integral rectifiable if $\theta$ is integer valued.
