Abstract
Factor complexity and palindromic complexity of infinite words with language closed under reversal are known to be related by the inequality for any \,. Word for which the equality is attained for any is usually called rich in palindromes. In this article we study words whose languages are invariant under a finite group of symmetries. For such words we prove a stronger version of the above inequality. We introduce notion of -palindromic richness and give several examples of -rich words, including the Thue-Morse sequence as well.
