Abstract

We consider the category P, the objects of which are pairs of topological spaces (X, Y). Each such pair (X, Y) is assigned the space of continuous maps Cτ(X, Y) with some topology τ. By imposing some restrictions on objects and morphisms of category P, we define a subcategory K ⊂ P, for which the above map is a functor from K to the category Top of topological spaces and continuous maps. The following question is investigated. What are the additional conditions on K, under which the above functor is continuous? Along the way the problem of finding the limit of the inverse spectrum in the category P is solved. We show, that it reduces to finding the limits of the corresponding direct spectrum and inverse spectrum in the category Top. Point convergence topology, compact-open topology and graph topology are considered as the topology τ.
