%0 Journal Article %T The critical exponent of the Arshon words %A Dalia Krieger %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X Generalizing the results of Thue (for n = 2) and of Klepinin and Sukhanov (for n = 3), we prove that for all n greater than or equal to 2, the critical exponent of the Arshon word of order $n$ is given by (3n-2)/(2n-2), and this exponent is attained at position 1. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.0258v1
