Abstract
Kirszbraun's Theorem states that every Lipschitz map , where , has an extension to a Lipschitz map with the same Lipschitz constant. Its proof relies on Helly's Theorem: every family of compact subsets of , having the property that each of its subfamilies consisting of at most 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.
