On the critical exponent of generalized Thue-Morse words. (English) Zbl 1152.68487

Summary: For certain generalized Thue-Morse words \(t\), we compute the critical exponent, i.e., the supremum of the set of rational numbers that are exponents of powers in \(t\), and determine exactly the occurrences of powers realizing it.
