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…

We construct the moduli spaces of stable maps, \bar M_g,n(P^r,d), via geometric invariant theory (GIT). This construction is only valid over Spec C, but a special case is a GIT presentation of the moduli space of stable curves of genus g…
