Abstract: Let $IsubsetK[x,y]$ be a monomial ideal. How small can $mu(I^2)$ be in terms of $mu(I)$? It has been expected that the inequality $mu(I^2)>mu(I)$ should hold whenever $mu(I)ge2$. Here we disprove this expectation and provide a somewhat surprising answer to the above question.

Review text

Let \(I\subset K[x,y]\) be a monomial ideal and let \(\mu(I)\) denote the least number of generators of \(I\). In the paper under review, the authors prove the following statements: Theorem 1.1. For every integer \(m\geq 5\), there exists a monomial ideal \(I\subset K[x,y]\) such that \(\mu(I)=m\) and \(\mu(I^2)=9\). Theorem 1.2. Let \(I\subset K[x,y]\) be a monomial ideal. If \(\mu(I)\geq 6\), then \(\mu(I^2)\geq 9\).
