If \(Y\) is a subspace of a (Tikhonov) space \(X\), then a mapping \(\phi:C_p (Y) \to C_p(X)\) is said to be an extender if for each \(f\in C_p(Y)\), \(\phi (f)| Y \equiv f\). \(Y\) is \(t\)-embedded (\(\ell\)-embedded) into \(X\) if there is a continuous (a linear continuous) extender from \(C_p(Y)\) into \(C_p(X)\). The paper concerns \(t\)-embeddability (\(\ell\)-embeddability) of the Cantor cube \(D^\kappa\) in the Tikhonov cube \(I^\kappa\). The authors have announced [C. R. Acad. Bulg. Sci. 43, No. 4, 13-15 (1990; Zbl 0731.54004)] that if a non-metrizable compactum \(X\) is \(\ell\)-embedded in \(I^\kappa\), then \(X\) contains a copy of the Tikhonov cube \(I^{\omega_1}\). The proof of this result is given in this paper and some consequences of it are derived. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0863.00016].
