# A single-period MV3 is either (1) | # A single-period MV3 is either (1) equivalent to XYZYX, (2) constructed from aX bZ with a even by replacing every other X with Y, (3) ''w''(X, Z)^2 (power of a primitive mos ''w''(X, Z) with #X odd) by replacing every other X with Y, or (4) a "twisted" word constructed as follows: | ||
## Start with a power of a multimos word ''w''(X, Z) = ''ka''X ''kb''Z such that ''a'' is even and each ''a''X ''b''Z subword of ''w'' is of the form X''P''(X, Z)Z where ''P''(X, Z) is a palindrome. | ## Start with a power of a multimos word ''w''(X, Z) = ''ka''X ''kb''Z such that ''a'' is even and each ''a''X ''b''Z subword of ''w'' is of the form X''P''(X, Z)Z where ''P''(X, Z) is a palindrome. | ||
## Interchange some of the Z's and X's at some (possibly none) of the borders of these copies of the mos word ''w''. | ## Interchange some of the Z's and X's at some (possibly none) of the borders of these copies of the mos word ''w''. | ||

# Single-period MV3 scales not of type (4) and not of the form XYZYX are ''balanced'': for any ''k'', any pair of k-steps has a difference that contains +1, -1, or 0 of each step size. | # Single-period MV3 scales not of type (4) and not of the form XYZYX are ''balanced'': for any ''k'', any pair of k-steps has a difference that contains +1, -1, or 0 of each step size. | ||

Proven by Bulgakova, Buzhinsky and Goncharov (2023), "[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304397522006417 On balanced and abelian properties of circular words over a ternary alphabet]" (and Theorem 4). | Proven by Bulgakova, Buzhinsky and Goncharov (2023), "[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304397522006417 On balanced and abelian properties of circular words over a ternary alphabet]" (and Theorem 4). Note that PWF scales are S<sub>3</sub>-action images of φ(the mos aX bY), where a is even, b is odd, and φ is the operation of replacing every other X with Z. | ||
