Title: Palindromic length of the Thue-Morse word
Abstract: The prefix palindromic length $PPL_u(n)$ of an infinite word $u$ is the minimal number of concatenated palindromes needed to express the prefix of length $n$ of $u$. Precise values of $PPL_u(n)$ are not known even for simplest examples like the Fibonacci word. We will review recent results by Frid and Li giving precise computation of the prefix palindromic length of the Thue-Morse word.
