The characterization of abelian periods for the slope
The characterization of abelian periods for the slope
Let , and let a Sturmian word of slope be a Sturmian word whose slope is . Denote its abelian period set by the set of positive integers occurring as abelian periods of its factors, and write and for the sets defined in the paper.
Abelian-period conjecture. The abelian period set of a Sturmian word of slope is
The conjecture concerns the characterization of all possible abelian periods of factors of a Sturmian word for the specific slope . The surrounding examples show that the possible periods depend heavily on the arithmetic nature of the slope; the proposed description is based on computer experiments.
