Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus 0. Let B be the variety of
complete flags in an n-dimensional vector space V. Given an (n−1)-tuple
α∈N[I] of positive integers one can consider the space Qα of
algebraic maps of degree α from C to B. This space admits some
remarkable compactifications QαD (Quasimaps), QαL
(Quasiflags) constructed by Drinfeld and Laumon respectively. In [Kuznetsov] it
was proved that the natural map π:QαL→QαD is a small
resolution of singularities. The aim of the present note is to study the
singular support of the Goresky-MacPherson sheaf ICα on the Quasimaps'
space QαD. Namely, we prove that this singular support SS(ICα)
is irreducible. The proof is based on the factorization property of Quasimaps'
space and on the detailed analysis of Laumon's resolution π:QαL→QαD.Comment: 8 pages, AmsLatex 1.
