Review text

\textit{H. Herrlich} studied hyperconvex extensions of metric spaces in the paper [Topology Appl. 44, No. 1--3, 181--187 (1992; Zbl 0759.54015)], and, using the concept of collinearity, he proved that every bounded hyperconvex space \(X\) is a hyperconvex hull of the subspace \(EX\) which is constituted of the endpoints of \(X\). In the paper under review the authors show, among other results, that the image of a \(q\)-hyperconvex quasi-metric space under a retraction is \(q\)-hyperconvex. Furthermore the authors, following the work in [\textit{A. W. M. Dress}, Adv. Math. 53, 321--402 (1984; Zbl 0562.54041)], establish that quasi-tightness and quasi-essentiality of an extension of a \(T_0\)-quasi-metric space are equivalent.
