A pseudocompact Tychonoff space all countable subsets of which are closed and \(C^*\)-embedded (Q1071339)

Let X be a Tikhonov space and let all subsets of cardinality \(\leq \tau\) of X be closed (and \(C^*\)-embedded). Then X can be embedded as a closed subspace in a pseudocompact Tikhonov space Y such that all subsets of cardinality \(\leq \tau\) of Y are closed (and \(C^*\)-embedded). As an application of this result we construct a pseudocompact connected left- separated Tikhonov space having all its subsets of cardinality \(\leq \tau\) closed and \(C^*\)-embedded.
