Homotopy Characterization of ANR Function Spaces

Let Y be an absolute neighbourhood retract (ANR) for the class of metric spaces and let X be a topological space. Let YX denote the space of continuous maps from X to Y equipped with the compact open topology. We show that if X is a compactly generated Tychonoff space and Y is not discrete, then YX...
