We describe the class, in the Grothendieck group of stacks, of the stack of twisted $G$-covers of genus $0$ curves, in terms of the loci corresponding to covers over smooth bases.

Let $\bar{M}_{0,n}(G(r,V), d)$ be the coarse moduli space of stable degree $d$ maps from $n$-pointed genus $0$ curves to a Grassmann variety $G(r,V)$. We provide a recursive method for the computation of the Hodge numbers and the Betti numbers of $\bar{M}_{0,n}(G(r,V), d)$ for all $n$ and $d$. Our method is a generalization of Getzler and Pandharipande's work for maps to projective spaces.
For any locally free coherent sheaf on a fixed smooth projective curve, we study the class, in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, of the Quot scheme that parametrizes zero-dimensional quotients of the sheaf. We prove that this class depends only on the rank of the sheaf and on the length of the quotients. As an application, we obtain an explicit formula that expresses it in terms of the symmetric products of the curve.
