Abstract

We introduce the class of bounded variation (BV) functions in a general framework of strictly local Dirichlet spaces with doubling measure. Under the 2-Poincar\'e inequality and a weak Bakry-\'Emery curvature type condition, this BV class is identified with the heat semigroup based Besov class B1,1/2(X)\mathbf{B}^{1,1/2}(X) that was introduced in our previous paper. Assuming furthermore a quasi Bakry-\'Emery curvature type condition, we identify the Sobolev class W1,p(X)W^{1,p}(X) with Bp,1/2(X)\mathbf{B}^{p,1/2}(X) for p>1p>1. Consequences of those identifications in terms of isoperimetric and Sobolev inequalities with sharp exponents are given.
