Abstract
We study the length of monochromatic arithmetic progressions in the Thue–Morse word and in a class of generalised Thue–Morse words. In particular, we give exact values or upper bounds for the lengths of monochromatic arithmetic progressions of given fixed differences inside these words. Some arguments for these are inspired by van der Waerden's proof for the existence of arbitrary long monochromatic arithmetic progressions in any finite colouring of the (positive) integers. We also establish upper bounds for the length of monochromatic arithmetic progressions of certain differences in any fixed point of a primitive binary bijective substitution.
