Abstract

It is shown that in some non-discrete topological spaces, discrete subspaces with certain cardinality are C-embedded. In particular, this generalizes the well-known fact that every countable subset of P-spaces are C-embedded. In the presence of the measurable cardinals, we observe that if X is a discrete space then every subspace of υ X (i.e., the Hewitt realcompactification of X) whose cardinal is nonmeasurable, is a C-embedded, discrete realcompact subspace of υ X. This generalizes the well-known fact that the discrete spaces with nonmeasurable cardinal are realcompact.
