Abstract

We prove that for any open orientable surface SS of finite topology, there exist a Riemann surface M,\mathcal{M}, a relatively compact domain MMM\subset\mathcal{M} and a continuous map X:MˉC3X:\bar{M}\to\mathbb{C}^3 such that: M\mathcal{M} and MM are homeomorphic to S,S, MM\mathcal{M}-M and MMˉ\mathcal{M}-\bar{M} contain no relatively compact components in M,\mathcal{M}, XMX|_M is a complete null holomorphic curve, XMˉM:MˉMC3X|_{\bar{M}-M}:\bar{M}-M\to\mathbb{C}^3 is an embedding and the Hausdorff dimension of X(MˉM)X(\bar{M}-M) is 1.1. Moreover, for any ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and compact null holomorphic curve Y:NC3Y:N\to\mathbb{C}^3 with non-empty boundary Y(N),Y(\partial N), there exist Riemann surfaces MM and M\mathcal{M} homeomorphic to NN^\circ and a map X:MˉC3X:\bar{M}\to\mathbb{C}^3 in the above conditions such that δH(Y(N),X(MˉM))<ϵ,\delta^H(Y(\partial N),X(\bar{M}-M))<\epsilon, where δH(,)\delta^H(\cdot,\cdot) means Hausdorff distance in C3.\mathbb{C}^3.
