Abstract: We prove that a (globally) subanalytic p-adic function which is locally Lipschitz continuous with some constant C is piecewise (globally on each piece) Lipschitz continuous with possibly some other constant, where the pieces can be taken subanalytic. We also prove the analogous result for a subanalytic family of functions depending on p-adic parameters. The statements also hold in a semi-algebraic set-up and also in finite extensions of the field of p-adic numbers. These results are p-adic analogues of results of K. Kurdyka over the real numbers. To encompass the total disconnectedness of p-adic fields, we need to introduce new methods adapted to the p-adic situation.


\textit{K. Kurdyka} [Lect. Notes Math. 1524, 316--322 (1992; Zbl 0779.32006)] obtained the following result in the real subanalytic setting: Let \(f: X\subset\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}\) be a globally subanalytic function that is locally Lipschitz continuous for some fixed constant, then it is piecewise (globally on the globally subanalytic piece) Lipschitz continuous. The result relies on the stratification of subanalytic sets in so called \(L\)-regular cells. The authors of the paper under review show this theorem for \(p\)-adic subanalytic functions. The statement also holds in the \(p\)-adic semi-algebraic setting. For the proof they introduce a cell decomposition adapted to the tame \(p\)-adic situation.
