Abstract

We study various aspects of Dyck words appearing in binary sequences, where 0 is treated as a left parenthesis and 1 as a right parenthesis. We show that binary words that are 7/3-power-free have bounded nesting level, but this no longer holds for larger repetition exponents. We give an explicit characterization of the factors of the Thue-Morse word that are Dyck, and show how to count them. We also prove tight upper and lower bounds on f(n), the number of Dyck factors of Thue-Morse of length 2n.
