Review text

The author shows that the space \(X^{[0,1]}\) of continuous maps \([0,1]\to X\) with the compact-open topology is not locally compact for any space \(X\) having a nonconstant path of closed points. For a \(T_1\)-space, it follows that \(X^{[0,1]}\) is locally compact if and only if \(X\) is locally compact and totally path disconnected, where \(X\) is called totally disconnected if the path components in \(X\) are the points. He also states that the path space \(X^{[0,1]}\) may have a relation to the exponentiability of \(X\).
