We show that, in arbitrary Carnot groups, pliability in a subset of directions is sufficient to guarantee the existence of a Whitney-type extension and a Lusin approximation for curves with tangent vectors in the same set of directions. We…

In recent years, several notions of non-rigidity of horizontal vectors in Carnot groups have been proposed, motivated, in particular, by the characterization of monotone sets and Whitney extension properties. In this note we compare some of…

In this article we study the validity of the Whitney $C^1$ extension property for horizontal curves in sub-Riemannian manifolds endowed with 1-jets that satisfy a first-order Taylor expansion compatibility condition. We first consider the…

We establish a $C^m$ Whitney extension theorem for horizontal curves in free step~$2$ Carnot groups $\mathbb{G}_r$ for an arbitrary number of generators $r \geq 2$. This extends existing results in the Heisenberg group. New techniques…

For a real valued function defined on a compact set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^m$, the classical Whitney Extension Theorem from 1934 gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a $C^k$ extension to $\mathbb{R}^m$. In this…

We construct a Lipschitz curve in the free Carnot group of step 3 with 2 generators that meets every $C^{1}$ horizontal curve in a set of measure zero. This shows that the $C^{1}_{H}$-Lusin property fails in a strong sense in this group,…

The Whitney near extension problem for finite sets in $\mathbb R^d,\, d\geq 2$ asks the following: Let $\phi:E\to \mathbb R^d$ be a near distortion on a finite set $E\subset \mathbb R^d$ with certain geometry. How to decide whether $\phi$…

We characterize those mappings from a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}$ into the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^{n}$ which can be extended to a $C^{m}$ horizontal curve in $\mathbb{H}^{n}$. The characterization combines the classical Whitney…

Given a compact of ${\bf R}^n$, there is always a doubling measure having it as its support. We use this fact to construct an integral operator that extends differentiable functions defined on any compact set of ${\bf R}^n$ to the whole of…

We prove non-extendability results for Lipschitz maps with target space being jet spaces equipped with a left-invariant Riemannian distance, as well as jet spaces equipped with a left-invariant sub-Riemannian Carnot-Caratheodory distance.…

The aim of this article is to prove a Lipschitz extension theorem for partially defined Lipschitz maps to jet spaces endowed with a left-invariant sub-Riemannian Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance. The jet spaces give a model for a certain…

Let $C$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ (not necessarily convex), $f:C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function, and $G:C\to\mathbb{R}^n$ be a uniformly continuous function, with modulus of continuity $\omega$. We provide a necessary and sufficient…
