Abstract

For all k,n1k,n\ge 1, we construct a biLipschitz embedding of Sn\mathbb{S}^n into the jet space Carnot group Jk(Rn)J^k(\mathbb{R}^n) that does not admit a Lipschitz extension to Bn+1\mathbb{B}^{n+1}. Let f:BnRf:\mathbb{B}^n\to \mathbb{R} be a smooth, positive function with kthk^{th}-order derivatives that are approximately linear near Bn\partial \mathbb{B}^n. The embedding is given by taking the jet of ff on the upper hemisphere and the jet of f-f on the lower hemisphere, where we view Sn\mathbb{S}^n as two copies of Bn\mathbb{B}^n. To prove the lack of a Lipschitz extension, we apply a factorization result of Wenger and Young for n=1n=1 and modify an argument of Rigot and Wenger for n2n\ge 2.
