Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the Besov capacity associated with a class of nonlocal hypoelliptic operators in \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}.\) Some measure theories and geometric properties for this capacity are established. As applications we study quasicontinuous representatives in the Besov space and we also obtain some important inequalities involving the Besov capacity established in this paper.
