A Bishop surface with a vanishing Bishop invariant
We derive a complete set of invariants for a formal Bishop surface near a
point of complex tangent with a vanishing Bishop invariant under the action of
formal transformations. We prove that the modular space of Bishop surfaces with
a vanishing Bishop invariant and with a fixed Moser invariant is of
infinite dimension. We also prove that the equivalence class of the germ of a
generic real analytic Bishop surface near a complex tangent with a vanishing
Bishop invariant can not be determined by a finite part of the Taylor expansion
of its defining equation. This answers, in the negative, a problem raised by J.
Moser in 1985 after his joint work with Webster in 1983 and his own work in
1985
