In this note, we define a distance between two pointed locally integral current spaces. We prove that a sequence of pointed locally integral current spaces converges with respect to this distance if and only if it converges in the sense of Lang–Wenger. This enables us to state the compactness theorem by Lang–Wenger for pointed locally integral current spaces in terms of a distance function.

We study sequences of integral current spaces [Formula: see text] such that the integral current structure [Formula: see text] has weight [Formula: see text] and no boundary and, all [Formula: see text] are closed Alexandrov spaces with curvature uniformly bounded from below and diameter uniformly bounded from above. We prove that for such sequences either their limits collapse or the Gromov–Hausdorff and Sormani–Wenger Intrinsic Flat limits agree. The latter is done showing that the lower [Formula: see text]-dimensional density of the mass measure at any regular point of the Gromov–Hausdorff limit space is positive by passing to a filling volume estimate. In an appendix, we show that the filling volume of the standard [Formula: see text]-dimensional integral current space coming from an [Formula: see text]-dimensional sphere of radius [Formula: see text] in Euclidean space equals [Formula: see text] times the filling volume of the [Formula: see text]-dimensional integral current space coming from the [Formula: see text]-dimensional sphere of radius [Formula: see text].

Abstract The null distance for Lorentzian manifolds was recently introduced by Sormani and Vega. Under mild assumptions on the time function of the spacetime, the null distance gives rise to an intrinsic, conformally invariant metric that induces the manifold topology. We show when warped products of low regularity and globally hyperbolic spacetimes endowed with the null distance are (local) integral current spaces. This metric and integral current structure sets the stage for investigating convergence analogous to Riemannian geometry. Our main theorem is a general convergence result for warped product spacetimes relating uniform, Gromov–Hausdorff, and Sormani–Wenger intrinsic flat convergence of the corresponding null distances. In addition, we show that nonuniform convergence of warping functions in general leads to distinct limiting behavior, such as limits that disagree.
