Abstract
We consider the convergence problem for normal forms on finite type hypersurfaces in dimension two, constructed in Kolář (Math Res Lett 12:897–910, 2005). Two families of examples of hypersurfaces with divergent normal form are given. The results also show that the divergence phenomenon cannot be avoided by a modification of the normal form construction.
