The Singular Supports of IC sheaves on Quasimaps' Spaces are Irreducible

Abstract

Let CC be a smooth projective curve of genus 0. Let BB be the variety of complete flags in an nn-dimensional vector space VV. Given an (n1)(n-1)-tuple αN[I]\alpha\in N[I] of positive integers one can consider the space QαQ_\alpha of algebraic maps of degree α\alpha from CC to BB. This space admits some remarkable compactifications QαDQ^D_\alpha (Quasimaps), QαLQ^L_\alpha (Quasiflags) constructed by Drinfeld and Laumon respectively. In [Kuznetsov] it was proved that the natural map π:QαLQαD\pi: Q^L_\alpha\to Q^D_\alpha is a small resolution of singularities. The aim of the present note is to study the singular support of the Goresky-MacPherson sheaf ICαIC_\alpha on the Quasimaps' space QαDQ^D_\alpha. Namely, we prove that this singular support SS(ICα)SS(IC_\alpha) is irreducible. The proof is based on the factorization property of Quasimaps' space and on the detailed analysis of Laumon's resolution π:QαLQαD\pi: Q^L_\alpha\to Q^D_\alpha.Comment: 8 pages, AmsLatex 1.
