We construct $d$-closed and $d{d}^c$-closed positive currents associated to a holomorphic map $\phi$ via cluster points of normalized weighted truncated image currents. They are constructed using analogues of the Ahlfors length-area inequality in higher dimensions. Such classes of currents are also referred to as Ahlfors currents. We give some applications to equidistribution problems in value distribution theory.

In 1981 J. Noguchi proved that in a logarithmic algebraic manifold, having logarithmic irregularity strictly bigger than its dimension, any entire curve is algebraically degenerate.In the present paper we are interested in the case of manifolds having logarithmic irregularity equal to its dimension. We restrict our attention to Brody curves, for which we resolve the problem completely in dimension 2: in a logarithmic surface with logarithmic irregularity $2$ and logarithmic Kodaira dimension $2$, any...
