Abstract: We consider a smooth, rotationally invariant, centered gaussian process in the plane, with arbitrary correlation matrix $C_{t{t}^{\prime }}$. We study the winding angle $ph{i}_t$ around its center. We obtain a closed formula for the variance of the winding angle as a function of the matrix $C_{t{t}^{\prime }}$. For most stationary processes $C_{t{t}^{\prime }}=C(t-t^{\prime })$ the winding angle exhibits diffusion at large time with diffusion coefficient $D=in{t}_0^{i}nftyds{C}^{\prime }(s{)}^2/(C(0{)}^2-C(s{)}^2)$. Correlations of $exp(inph{i}_t)$ with integer $n$, the distribution of the angular velocity $dotph{i}_t$, and the variance of the algebraic area are also obtained. For smooth processes with stationary increments (random walks) the variance of the winding angle grows as $1/2(lnt{)}^2$, with proper generalizations to the various classes of fractional Brownian motion. These results are tested numerically. Non integer $n$ is studied numerically.
