Abstract

Given a superreflexive Banach space XX, and a set EXE \subset X, we characterise the 11-jets (f,G)(f,G) on EE that admit C1,ωC^{1,\omega} convex extensions (F,DF)(F,DF) to all of XX; where ω\omega is any admissible modulus of continuity depending on the regularity of XX. Moreover, we obtain precise estimates for the growth of the C1,ωC^{1,\omega} seminorm of the extensions with respect to the initial data. We show how these estimates can be improved in the Hilbert setting, and are asymptotically sharp for H\"older moduli. Remarkably, our extensions have the sharp Lipschitz constant Lip(F,X)=GL(E)\mathrm{Lip}(F,X) = \|G\|_{L^\infty(E)}, when GG is a bounded map. All these extensions are given by simple and explicit formulas. We also prove a similar theorem for C1C^1 convex extensions of jets defined on compact subsets EE of superreflexive spaces XX, with the sharp Lipschitz constant too. The results are new even when X=Rn.X=\mathbb{R}^n.
