Abstract: Kirszbraun's Theorem states that every Lipschitz map SomathbbRn, where SsubseteqmathbbRm, has an extension to a Lipschitz map mathbbRmomathbbRn with the same Lipschitz constant. Its proof relies on Helly's Theorem: every family of compact subsets of mathbbRn, having the property that each of its subfamilies consisting of at most n+1 sets share a common point, has a non-empty intersection. We prove versions of these theorems valid for definable maps and sets in arbitrary definably complete expansions of ordered fields.
