Popis: In 1982, Seebold showed that the only overlap-free binary words that are the fixed points of non-identity morphisms are the Thue–Morse word and its complement. We strengthen Seebold’s result by showing that the same result holds if the term ‘overlap-free’ is replaced with ‘$\frac{7}{3}$-power-free’. Furthermore, the number $\frac{7}{3}$ is best possible.
