Monomial ideals with tiny squares

Abstract

Let I ⊂ K[x,y] be a monomial ideal. How small can μ(I2) be in terms of μ(I)? It has been expected that the inequality μ(I2) > μ(I) should hold whenever μ(I) 2. Here we disprove this expectation and provide a somewhat surprising answer to the above question.
