Abstract
Let be a nilpotent space such that there exists with and if . Let be a m-connected space with and is finitely generated as algebra. We assume that the odd part of the rational Hurewicz homomorphism: is non-zero. We prove that if the space of continuous maps from to is rationally formal, then has the rational homotopy type of a finite product of Eilenberg Mac Lane spaces. At the opposite, we exhibit an example of a rationally formal space where is not rationally equivalent to a product of Eilenberg Mac Lane spaces.
