Peano-Gosper curves and the local isomorphism property

Combinatorics 2023-10-31 v2

Abstract

We consider unbounded curves without endpoints. Isomorphism is equivalence up to translation. Self-avoiding plane-filling curves cannot be periodic, but they can satisfy the local isomorphism property: We obtain a set Ω\Omega of coverings of the plane by sets of disjoint self-avoiding nonoriented curves, generalizing the Peano-Gosper curves, such that: 1) each CΩC \in \Omega satisfies the local isomorphism property; any set of curves locally isomorphic to CC belongs to Ω\Omega ; 2) Ω\Omega is the union of 2ω2^{\omega } equivalence classes for the relation "CC locally isomorphic to DD"; each of them contains 2ω2^{\omega } (resp. 2ω2^{\omega }, 44, 00) isomorphism classes of coverings by 11 (resp. 22, 33, 4\geq 4) curves. Each CΩC \in \Omega gives exactly 22 coverings by sets of oriented curves which satisfy the local isomorphism property. They have opposite orientations.
