It is a known fact that, for every $c\in (1,\infty)$ it is possible to find an alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and a word $w\in \mathcal{A}^\omega$ such that $w$ has critical exponent $c$ [1]. It looks natural to me to define what I would call the $\textit{Critical Exponent Function}$ in two steps as follows.

Step 1:

The $\textit{n-Critical Exponent}$ function $\kappa_n$: \begin{equation} x\in[0,1]\rightarrow \kappa_n(x)=\frac{1}{c.e.(x)} \end{equation} where $c.e.(x)$ is the critical exponent of the infinite $n$-base expansion of $x$ (and it is intended $\frac{1}{\infty}=0$).

The range of $\kappa_n$ is $[0,\frac{4}{7}]$ for $n=3$, $[0,\frac{5}{7}]$ for $n=4$ and $\left[0,\frac{n-1}{n}\right]$ when $n=2$ or $n\ge 5$. This is due to a result by Rao [2] covering the last cases of a general conjecture by Dejean on repetition thresholds for finite alphabets [3].

Step 2:

The $\textit{Critical Exponent}$ function $\kappa$: \begin{equation} \kappa: x\in[0,1]\rightarrow \sup_{n\in\mathbb{N}}{\kappa_n(x)}\in[0,1] \end{equation}

It is easily seen that $\kappa(x)=0$ for every $x\in [0,1]$ such that its expansion in every base admits densities of the digits - in particular $\kappa$ vanishes on absolutely normal real numbers. Therefore, $\kappa$ is Lebesgue-measurable and $\int_0^1 \kappa(x)dx=0$.

Looks like $\kappa$ has several unusual properties (it recalls loosely Conway's base-13 function). Almost every question about it I can think of seems non-trivial. I propose three of them.

Q1: Which Baire class (if any) does this function belong to?

Q2: Does $\kappa$ have fixed and/or periodic points?

Q3: Does $\kappa$ attain the value 1?
