Are there space filling curves for the Hilbert cube?
There is a surjective continuous map $[0;1]\rightarrow [0;1]^2$ ("space filling curve"). Using such a map one can easily get space filling curves for all finite dimensional cubes.
So my question is: ...

convexity of images of space-filling curves
Suppose $f:[0,1]\to[0,1]^2$ is continuous and for each $t\in[0,1]$, the area of $\lbrace f(s) : 0\le s\le t \rbrace$ is $t$. For what sets of values of $t\in[0,1]$ can $\lbrace f(s) : 0\le s\le t \...

Space filling curve whose all level sets are finite (countable)
Is there a continuous surjective function $f:[0,1] \to [0,1]^2$ such that
every level set $f^{-1}(y)$ is a finite set? If the answer is no, what about if we replace the finiteness of level sets by "...

Unusual space-filling curve
Around 1998, I encountered a (forgotten) reference to a particularly strange space-filling curve.
Consider a foliation as a collection of continuous nonintersecting curves that start at $(0,0)$ and ...

Topological dimension of the image of continuous surjective functions
Consider two topological spaces $(X,\tau)$ and $(Y,\omega)$ and a continuous surjective function $f\colon X\to Y$.
Let $\mathrm{dim}(X)$ and $\mathrm{dim}(Y)$ denote the Lebesgue covering dimension ...

Do Peano curves provide a counterargument to Grothendieck's critique?
This question arose in the context of an earlier question on Grothendieck's critique of the traditional foundations of topology. Can the paper Group Invariant Peano Curves by Cannon and Thurston be ...
