All Growth Rates of Abelian Exponents Are Attained by Infinite Binary Words

Abstract

We consider repetitions in infinite words by making a novel inquiry to the maximum eventual growth rate of the exponents of abelian powers occurring in an infinite word. Given an increasing, unbounded function f: ℕ → ℝ, we construct an infinite binary word whose abelian exponents have limit superior growth rate f. As a consequence, we obtain that every nonnegative real number is the critical abelian exponent of some infinite binary word.
