Abstract

We construct an infinite sequence of invariants for surface curves by using the word theory introduced by Turaev. We modify these invariants to various classes of curves: plane closed curves, long curves and fronts. For a plane closed curve, for example, these modified invariants contain Arnold's basic invariants. We also discuss how curves are classified by these modified invariants.
