BiLipschitz embeddings of spheres into jet space Carnot groups not admitting Lipschitz extensions

Abstract: For all

k, n g e 1

, we construct a biLipschitz embedding of

m a t h b b S^{n}

into the jet space Carnot group

J^{k} (m a t h b b R^{n})

that does not admit a Lipschitz extension to

m a t h b b B^{n + 1}

. Let

f : m a t h b b B^{n} o m a t h b b R

be a smooth, positive function with

k^{t h}

-order derivatives that are approximately linear near

p a r t i a l m a t h b b B^{n}

. The embedding is given by taking the jet of

f

on the upper hemisphere and the jet of

- f

on the lower hemisphere, where we view

m a t h b b S^{n}

as two copies of

m a t h b b B^{n}

. To prove the lack of a Lipschitz extension, we apply a factorization result of Wenger and Young for

n = 1

and modify an argument of Rigot and Wenger for

n g e 2

.
