   Format: MarkdownIt seems to me that despite so lenghty discussions and entry related to the mapping space-hm adjunction, only the ideal situations are treated (convenient categories of spaces). For this reason, I have created a new entry [[exponential law for spaces]] containing the conditions usually used in the category of ALL topological spaces, as well as few remarks about the pointed spaces.

   Format: MarkdownThanks, that's good to know. One bit wasn't clear to me, so I asked a question. Also, I changed <latex>\theta'</latex> to <latex>\theta_*</latex>, which made sense to me; sorry if that's wrong.

   Format: MarkdownIt is OK to write theta with lower star, but this lower star is not induced by functoriality, but by a bit more explicit/careful consideration.

   Format: MarkdownThere are many definitions of locally compact spaces in the literature, all equivalent for Hausdorff spaces, and it's difficult to untangle them. The page [[exponential law for spaces]] suggests that *core*-compactness is the deciding feature. Do we know enough to be Bourbaki and decide which is best?

   Format: MarkdownYes, I believe so: the topology should be a continuous lattice, which means we should opt for the definition that says that compact neighborhoods of a point are a neighborhood basis, for every point. I may add that in in a bit.

   Format: MarkdownItexI did some reorganizing of [[exponential law for spaces]], and added a reference to Claudio Pisani's neat result characterizing exponentiable spaces in terms of ultrafilter convergence.
