It is an open problem to determine the Hilbert function
and graded Betti numbers for the ideal of a fat point subscheme
supported at general points of the projective plane.
In fact, there is not yet even a general explicit conjecture
for the graded Betti numbers. Here we formulate explicit
asymptotic conjectures for both problems.
We work over an algebraically closed field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic.
