Abstract

We construct Peano curves γ:[0,)R2\gamma : [0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}^2 whose "footprints" γ([0,t])\gamma([0,t]), t>0t>0, have CC^\infty boundaries and are tangent to a common continuous line field on the punctured plane R2{γ(0)}\mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{\gamma(0)\}. Moreover, these boundaries can be taken CC^\infty-close to any prescribed smooth family of nested smooth Jordan curves contracting to a point.
