Extension of Lipschitz maps into 3-manifolds (Q700525)

The authors prove the following Lipschitz extension property for an arbitrary universal covering \(Y\) of a closed 3-dimensional manifold. Let \(S\) be some subset of an arbitrary metric space \(X\), and \(f:S\to Y\) be some \(\lambda\)-Lipschitz map. Then the map \(f\) can be extended to some \(c\lambda\)-Lipschitz map \(\bar f:X\to Y\) where the constant \(c\) does not depend on \(f\).
