Sep 17, 2013 at 10:41 comment added Pietro Majer I think one can repeat to some extent the construction of the compact-open topology in $C(M,N)$ by means of an ideal of sets $\mathcal{I}$ on $M$ (instead of the family of compacts of $X$). The metrizability of $N$ and the countable cofinality of $\mathcal{I}$ should be again the condition for metrizability; one gets the distance of uniform convergence on elements of $\mathcal{I}$.

Sep 16, 2013 at 20:25 comment added Markovjan Im trying to obtain the less restrictive conditions on the topological properties on $M$, $N$, (Combinations of second- countable, lindelöf, hausdorff, paracompact or some othe properties) such that $C(M,N)$ is metrizable with some dynamically relevant topology in the sense that the stability notion of dynamical systems (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_conjugacy) is not vacuous.
Sep 16, 2013 at 20:09 comment added Igor Khavkine For the metrization question to make sense, you first need to start with some topology on $C(M,N)$ (e.g., compact-open). Some metrization conditions are well known (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrization_theorem, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) so if $C(M,N)$ fits them, it is metrizable. But perhaps this is not the kind of answer you are looking for... In that case, what is the motivation behind the question?
