Abstract: Let $ Z'$ be a fat point subscheme of $ \mathbb{P}^{d}$, and let $ x_0$ be a linear form such that some power of $ x_0$ vanishes on $ Z'$ (i.e., the support of $ Z'$ lies in the hyperplane $ H$ defined by $ x_0=0$, regarded as $ \mathbb{P}^{d-1}$). Let $ Z(i)=H\cap Z'(i)$, where $ Z'(i)$ is the subscheme of $ \mathbb{P}^{d}$ residual to $ x_0^i$; note that $ Z(i)$ is a fat points subscheme of $ \mathbb{P}^{d-1}=H$. In this paper we give a graded free resolution of the ideal $ I(Z')$ over $ R'=K[{\mathbb{P}}^{d}]$, in terms of the graded minimal free resolutions of the ideals $ I(Z(i))\subset R=K[{\mathbb{P}}^{d-1}]$. We also give a criterion for when the resolution is minimal, and we show that this criterion always holds if $ \hbox{char}(K)=0$.
