Abstract:

In this talk, we'll examine fixed points of morphisms of words, a way of constructing interesting infinite words. In particular, we will mostly focus on the Thue-Morse word, which has appearances in many different locations. We'll see some of them. We will also talk about generalizations of this word to a larger alphabet size.
