We prove that if the dimension of the Besov space $B^\\theta_{p,p}(X)$ is $k>1$, then $X$ can be decomposed into $k$ number of irreducible components (Theorem 1.1). Note that $\\theta$ may be bigger than $1$, as our framework includes fractals. We also provide sufficient conditions under which the dimension of the Besov space is $1$. We introduce critical exponents $\\theta_p(X)$ and $\\theta_p^{\\ast}(X)$ for the Besov spaces. As examples illustrating Theorem 1.1, we compute these critical exponents for spaces $X$ formed by glueing copies of $n$-dimensional cubes, the Sierpi\\'{n}ski gaskets, and of the Sierpi\\'{n}ski carpet.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-09-02T14:34:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31E05", "28A80", "46E36", "31C25" ], "keywords": [ "metric spaces", "finite dimensionality", "potential-theoretic decomposition", "critical exponents", "finite-dimensional besov space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
