Abstract. We prove that the Thue-Morse sequence t along subsequences indexed by ⌊n c ⌋ is normal, where 1 < c < 3/2. That is, for c in this range and for each ω ∈ {0, 1} L , where L ≥ 1, the set of occurrences of ω as a factor (contiguous finite subsequence) of the sequence n → t ⌊n c ⌋ has asymptotic density 2 −L . This is an improvement over a recent result by the second author, which handles the case 1 < c < 4/3.In particular, this result shows that for 1 < c < 3/2 the sequence n → t ⌊n c ⌋ attains both of its values with asymptotic density 1/2, which improves on the bound c < 1.4 obtained by Mauduit and Rivat (who obtained this bound in the more general setting of q-multiplicative functions, however) and on the bound c ≤ 1.42 obtained by the second author.In the course of proving the main theorem, we show that 2/3 is an admissible level of distribution for the Thue-Morse sequence, that is, it satisfies a Bombieri-Vinogradov type theorem for each exponent η < 2/3. This improves on a result by Fouvry and Mauduit, who obtained the exponent 0.5924. Moreover, the underlying theorem implies that every finite word ω ∈ {0, 1} L is contained as an arithmetic subsequence of t.
