Abstract
For a compact Hausdorff space X and an ANR for metrizable spaces M, one considers the space MX of all mappings from X to M, endowed with the compact-open topology. Since a mapping f: X' → X induces a natural mapping Mf : MX → MX', an inverse system of compact Hausdorff spaces X determines a direct system M X of spaces as well as the corresponding direct system of singular homology groups Hn(M X;G). There is a natural isomorphism between the direct limit dir lim Hn(M X;G) and the singular homology group Hn(MX;G), where X= inv lim X. This continuity theorem, used by some authors, was published more than 50 years ago. Unfortunately, the author discovered a serious error in the proofs of two lemmas on which the result depended. The present paper gives new correct proofs of these lemmas.
