Abstract

A metric space has the universal Lipschitz extension property if for an arbitrary metric space and every subspace of isometric to a subspace of there exists a continuous linear extension of Banach-valued Lipschitz functions on to those on all of . We show that the finite direct sum of Gromov hyperbolic spaces of bounded geometry is universal in the sense of this definition.
