A string is calledkth power-free, if it does not havexkas a nonempty substring. For all nonnegative rational numbersk,kth power-free strings andkth power-free homomorphisms are investigated and the shortest uniformly growing square-free (k=2) and cube-free (k=3) homomorphisms mapping into least alphabets with three and two-letters are introduced. It is shown that there exist exponentially many square-free and cube-free strings of each length over these alphabets. Sharpening thekth power-freeness to the repetitive threshold RT(n) ofnletter alphabets, we provide arguments for the nonexistence of various RT(n)th power-free homomorphisms.
