Extensions of Lipschitz maps into Hadamard spaces

From MaRDI portal





Main result: Let \(Y\) be an \(n\)-dimensional Hadamard manifold with sectional curvature \(-b^2\leq K\leq-(pb)^2\) for some \(b>0\) and \(0<p\leq 1\). There exists a constant \(c=c(n,p)\) such that every \(\lambda\)-Lipschitz map \(f:S \to Y\) defined on a subset \(S\subset X\) of a metric space \(X\) possesses a \(c \lambda\)-Lipschitz extension \(g:X\to Y\). In fact the article provides a nice invitation into the general theory of Hadamard spaces, i.e., into the theory of simply connected and complete geodesic metric spaces of nonpositive curvature in the sense of Alexandrov. All fundamental concepts (e.g., geodesics, horospheres, angles, tangent cones) are recalled and rather powerful tolls (e.g., Hausdorff measure, center of mass construction, generalized Weyl chambers and Coxeter complexes) are employed in order to prove several modifications of the above mentioned result.
