Apr 12, 2011 at 13:15 comment added JRN @Tony: Wow. I didn't think of that. Thanks!
Apr 12, 2011 at 13:00 comment added Gerry Myerson This construction gives a countable infinity of cube-free words. I would imagine there would be an uncountable infinity.
Apr 12, 2011 at 11:22 comment added Emil Jeřábek @Tara: yes, so did I. But then it would be trivial that there are $2^\omega$ $xxx$-free words: anything matching the regular expression $(0?01)*$ will do.
Apr 12, 2011 at 11:20 comment added Tara Brough So, I agree with you. If $w - j = w - k$ for some $j<k$, then $w = uv^*$ for some words $u$ and $v$.
Apr 12, 2011 at 10:31 comment added Tara Brough Oh, sorry, I had misunderstood the definition of cube-free. I thought that $x$ was just a single symbol, not a word in $\{0,1\}^*$!
Apr 12, 2011 at 10:27 comment added Tony Huynh Doesn't your $\omega$ contain the cube of $x=01$?
Apr 12, 2011 at 10:23 comment added Tara Brough The word $w = 010101\ldots$ is cube-free, and $w - j = w - k$ if $j$ and $k$ are the same modulo $2$.
