On reflexivity and the Ascoli property for free locally convex spaces

Let $L(X)$ be the free locally convex space over a Tychonoff space $X$. If $X$ is Dieudonn'{e} complete (for example, metrizable), then $L(X)$ is a reflexive group if and only if $X$ is discrete. Answering a question posed in [9] we prove also that $L(X)$ is an Ascoli space if and only if $X$ is a countable discrete space.
