It is a known fact [1] that, for every $c\in (1,\infty]$, it is possible to find a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and a word $w\in \mathcal{A}^\omega$ such that $w$ has critical exponent $c$. It looks ...

Let $X$ be a subshift on a finite alphabet. I'm interested in the following property: there exist words $s,t\in\mathcal L(X)$ (the language of $X$) such that $\{s,t\}^*\subset \mathcal L(X)$. That is, ...

Let ${\cal L}_n$ be the set of all subwords of length $n$ of a biinfinite Sturmian sequence, induced by a rotation coding with irrational angle $\theta$. Take a word $w \in {\cal L}_{2^n}$ and write ...

Let $X$ be a finite set, $(X^{\mathbb Z}, T)$ is the shift, i.e. the Tikhonov topological space of all bi-infinite words in $X$, $T$ shifts the words one letter to the right. A subshift is a closed ...

The Fibonacci word is the limit of the sequence of words starting with "$0$" and satisfying rules $0 \to 01, 1 \to 0$. It's equivalent to have initial conditions $S_0 = 0, S_1 = 01$ and ...
