AbstractThis note concerns low-dimensional intrinsic Lipschitz graphs, in the sense of Franchi, Serapioni, and Serra Cassano, in the Heisenberg group $${\mathbb {H}}^n$$
H
n
, $$n\in {\mathbb {N}}$$
n
∈
N
. For $$1\leqslant k\leqslant n$$
1
⩽
k
⩽
n
, we show that every intrinsic L-Lipschitz graph over a subset of a k-dimensional horizontal subgroup $${\mathbb {V}}$$
V
of $${\mathbb {H}}^n$$
H
n
can be extended to an intrinsic $$L'$$
L
′
-Lipschitz graph over the entire subgroup $${\mathbb {V}}$$
V
, where $$L'$$
L
′
depends only on L, k, and n. We further prove that 1-dimensional intrinsic 1-Lipschitz graphs in $${\mathbb {H}}^n$$
H

n

N
, admit corona decompositions by intrinsic Lipschitz graphs with smaller Lipschitz constants. This complements results that were known previously only in the first Heisenberg group $${\mathbb {H}}^1$$

. The main difference to this case arises from the fact that for $$1\leqslant k<n$$

are not commutative.
