Abstract: This paper is concerned with determining the number of generators in each degree for minimal sets of homogeneous generators for saturated ideals defining fat point subschemes $Z=m_1{p}_1+\mathrm{...}+m_r{p}_r$ for general sets of points $p_i$ of $P^2$. For thin points (i.e., m_i=1 for all i), a solution is known, in terms of a maximal rank property. Although this property in general fails for fat points, we show it holds in an appropriate asymptotic sense. In the uniform (i.e., $m_1=\mathrm{...}=m_r$) case, we determine all failures of this maximal rank property for $rle9$, and we develop evidence for the conjecture that no other failures occur for $r>9$.
