Ball's extension problem for Lipschitz maps from Hilbert space into , via the Mendel-Naor metric Markov cotype question
Theorem 1.1: real has metric Markov cotype two with , uniformly in the number of points, coordinates and time parameter; complex follows with . Corollary: there is a universal such that every Lipschitz , any subset of a real Hilbert space, extends to with . The construction is nonlinear (expected coordinatewise medians of geometric-walk endpoints after cut smoothing), consistent with the known failure of Ball's linear Markov cotype for and the Kalton-based subspace counterexample. No optimal constant is claimed, and targets other than are not treated.
