If γ is an infinite cardinal number, a subset S of a topological space X is said to be Pγ-embedded in X if every γ-separable continuous pseudometric on S can be extended to a γ-separable continuous pseudometric on X. (A pseudometric d on X is γ-separable if there exists a subset G of X such that |G| ⩽ 7 and such that G is dense in X relative to the pseudometric topology A pseudometric d is continuous if d is continuous relative to the product topology on X × X.) We say that S is P-embedded in X if every continuous pseudometric on S can be extended to a continuous pseudometric on X.
