The purpose of this paper is to study the so-called canonical monoidal closed structures on concrete categories with constant maps. First of all we give an example of a category of this kind where there exists a non canonical monoidal closed structure. Later, we give a technique to construct a class of suitable full subcategories of the category of T0-spaces, such that all monoidal closed structures on them are canonical. Finally we show that “almost all” useful categories of topological compact spaces admit no monoidal closed structures whatsoever.
