A note on the topology of escaping endpoints

We study topological properties of the escaping endpoints and fast escaping endpoints of the Julia set of complex exponential $\exp(z)+a$ when $a\in (-\infty,-1)$. We show neither space is homeomorphic to the whole set of endpoints. This follows from a general result stating that for every transcendental entire function $f$, the escaping Julia set $I(f)\cap J(f)$ is first category.
