Definable versions of theorems by Kirszbraun and Helly

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Kirszbraun's Theorem states that every Lipschitz map S→RnS\to\mathbb R^n, where S⊆RmS\subseteq \mathbb R^m, has an extension to a Lipschitz map Rm→Rn\mathbb R^m \to \mathbb R^n with the same Lipschitz constant. Its proof relies on Helly's Theorem: every family of compact subsets of Rn\mathbb R^n, having the property that each of its subfamilies consisting of at most n+1n+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.
