Abstract
In 1978, G. Plotkin [7] conjectured that for the three-element truthvalue dcpo T, if κ > ω then the function space [T$^{κ}$ → T$^{κ}$] is not a retract of T$^{κ}$. In this short paper, we constructively prove a stronger result that if κ > ω then the function space [T$^{κ}$ → T$^{κ}$] is not a retract of the Cartesian product of any family of finite posets. Thus Plotkin's Conjecture is proved to be correct.
