Two finite words $u$ and $v$ are called abelian equivalent if each letter occurs equally many times in both $u$ and $v$. The abelian closure $\mathcal{A}(\mathbf{x})$ of an infinite word $\mathbf{x}$ is the set of infinite words…
We give examples of real Banach spaces with exactly infinite countably many complex structures and with $\omega_1$ many complex structures.
We consider the notion of multiple gap as a finite set of ideals that cannot be separated. We study the different types of such objects that can be found in the Boolean algebra of subsets of the natural numbers modulo finite sets.
Deciding periodicity of infinite words generated by morphisms is a classical result in combinatorics on words from 80's by Harju, Linna and Pansiot. In this paper, we are interested in this question in the abelian setting. Two words are…
Over an arbitrary field of positive characteristic we construct an example of a locally finite variety of Lie algebras which does not have a finite basis of its polynomial identities. As a consequence we construct varieties of Lie algebras…
Two finite words $u,v$ are 2-binomially equivalent if, for all words $x$ of length at most 2, the number of occurrences of $x$ as a (scattered) subword of $u$ is equal to the number of occurrences of $x$ in $v$. This notion is a refinement…
In this article we give two different ways of representations of circular words. Representations with tuples are intended as a compact notation, while representations with trees give a way to easily process all conjugates of a word. The…
A word is said to be \emph{bordered} if it contains a non-empty proper prefix that is also a suffix. We can naturally extend this definition to pairs of non-empty words. A pair of words $(u,v)$ is said to be \emph{mutually bordered} if…
We consider the set of finite sequences of length n over a finite or countable alphabet C. We consider the function which associate each given sequence with the size of the maximum overlap with a (shifted) copy of itself. We compute the…
We consider symbolic flows over finite alphabets and study certain kinds of repetitions in these sequences. Positive and negative results for the existence of such repetitions are given for codings of interval exchange transformations and…
Defining the biperiodic Fibonacci words as a class of words over the alphabet $\{0,1\}$, and two specializations the $k-$Fibonacci and classical Fibonacci words, we provide a self-similar decomposition of these words into overlapping words…
Let f be a cubic polynomial. Then there are infinitely many primes p such that f(p) is square-free.
We provide a combinatorial construction for linear codes attaining the maximum possible number of distinct weights. We then introduce the related problem of determining the existence of linear codes with an arbitrary number of distinct…
A word is cubefree if it contains no non-empty subword of the form xxx. A morphism h : Sigma^* -> Sigma^* is k-uniform if h(a) has length k for all a in Sigma. A morphism is cubefree if it maps cubefree words to cubefree words. We show that…
We present a new method for characterizing the interpretive possibilities generated by elliptical constructions in natural language. Unlike previous analyses, which postulate ambiguity of interpretation or derivation in the full clause…
We describe isomorphisms of groups of several periodic infinite matrices and isomorphisms of groups of invertible elements of unital locally matrix algebras.
We find the lexicographically least infinite binary rich word having critical exponent $2+\sqrt{2}/2$
This paper describes an alternative method of generating fixed points of certain substitution systems. This method centres on taking infinite words consisting of one repeated letter per word. These infinite words are then interlaced to form…
In 2008, Kurosaki gave a new construction of a (bi-)infinite squarefree word over three letters. We show that in fact Kurosaki's word avoids 7/4+-powers, which, as shown by Dejean, is optimal over a 3-letter alphabet.
We investigate the expressive power of quantifier alternation hierarchy of first-order logic over words. This hierarchy includes the classes ${\Sigma}_i$ (sentences having at most $i$ blocks of quantifiers starting with an $\exists$) and…
