contents The Barron space has become famous in the theory of (shallow) neural networks because it seemingly defies the curse of dimensionality. And while the Barron space (and generalizations) indeed defies (defy) the curse of dimensionality from the POV of classical smoothness, we herein provide some evidence in favor of the idea that the Barron space (and generalizations) does (do) not defy the curse of dimensionality with a nonclassical notion of smoothness which relates naturally to "infinitely wide" shallow neural networks. Like how the Bessel potential spaces are defined via the Fourier transform, we define so-called ADZ spaces via the Mellin transform; these ADZ spaces encapsulate the nonclassical smoothness we alluded to earlier. 38 pages, will appear in the dissertation of the author
