Transport properties such as conductivity on scale-invariant structures such as random aggregates are governed by a spectral dimension exponent d ̃. We investigate the behavior of d ̃ for branched structures without loops using geometric constraints on their current-carrying backbone. The requirement that the structure fit into d-dimensional space imposes a new constraint on d ̃. The distance Δ between branches of the backbone must be of the order of the span N measured along the backbone. Under mild scaling assumptions this distance Δ controls the conductance. We express d ̃ in terms of the fractal dimension D and the scaling power δ relating N to the geometric size L (N∼ L δ): δ= D (2 d ̃− 1). This implies that d ̃< 4 3 for such branched structures with D< 2.
