Plateau's problem for integral currents in locally non-compact metric   spaces
  The purpose of this article is to prove existence of mass minimizing integral currents with prescribed possibly non-compact boundary in all dual Banach spaces and furthermore in certain spaces without linear structure, such as injective metric spaces and Hadamard spaces. We furthermore prove a weak$^*$-compactness theorem for integral currents in dual spaces of separable Banach spaces. Our theorems generalize results of Ambrosio-Kirchheim, Lang, the author, and recent results of Ambrosio-Schmidt.
