Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a method to construct ambient isotopy invariants for smooth imbeddings of closed surfaces into 4-space by using hyperbolic splittings of the imbedded surfaces and an arbitrary given isotopy or regular isotopy invariant of classical knots and links in 3-space. Using this construction, adopting the Kauffman bracket polynomial as an example, we produce some invariants.
