Pseudoradial spaces and copies of ${\omega }_1+1$

In this paper we compare the concepts of pseudoradial spaces and the recently defined strongly pseudoradial spaces in the realm of compact spaces. We show that $\mathrm{M}\mathrm{A}+\mathfrak{c}={\omega }_2$ implies that there is a compact pseudoradial space that is not strongly pseudoradial. We essentially construct a compact, sequentially compact space $X$ and a continuous function $f:X\to {\omega }_1+1$ in such a way that there is no copy of ${\omega }_1+1$ in $X$ that maps cofinally under $f$. We also give some conditions that imply the existence of copies of ${\omega }_1$ in spaces. In particular, $\mathrm{P}\mathrm{F}\mathrm{A}$ implies that compact almost radial spaces of radial character ${\omega }_1$ contain many copies of ${\omega }_1$.
