Abstract: We study constructible invariants of the moduli space $$ of stable maps from genus zero curves to $mathbb{P}^1$, relative to $0$ and $infty$, with ramification profiles specified by $$. These spaces are central to the enumerative geometry of $mathbb{P}^1$, and provide a large family of birational models of the Deligne--Mumford--Knudsen moduli space $overline{mathcalM}_{0,n}$. For the sequence of vectors $$ corresponding to maps which are maximally ramified over $0$ and unramified over $infty$, we prove that a generating function for the topological Euler characteristics of these spaces satisfies a differential equation which allows for its recursive calculation. We also show that the class of the moduli space in the Grothendieck ring of varieties is constant as $$ varies within a fixed chamber in the resonance decomposition of $mathbb{Z}^n$. We conclude by suggesting several further directions in the study of these spaces, giving conjectures on (1) the asymptotic behavior of the Euler characteristic and (2) a potential chamber structure for the Chern numbers.
