Abstract Let A be an algebra over a field F of characteristic zero and let c n ( A ) , n = 1 , 2 , … , be its sequence of codimensions. We prove that if c n ( A ) is exponentially bounded, its exponential growth can be any real number >1. This is achieved by constructing, for any real number α > 1 , an F-algebra A α such that lim n → ∞ c n ( A α ) n exists and equals α. The methods are based on the representation theory of the symmetric group and on properties of infinite Sturmian and periodic words.
