Abstract

This paper is concerned with nanowords, a generalization of links, introduced by Turaev. It is shown that the system of bigraded homology groups is an invariant of nanowords by introducing a new notion. This paper gives two examples which show the independence of this invariant from some of Turaev's homotopy invariants.
