In a series of recent papers, Chiodo, Farkas and Ludwig carried out a
deep analysis of the singular locus of the moduli space of stable (twisted) curves
with an $\ell$-torsion line bundle. They showed that for $\ell\leq 6$ and $\ell\neq 5$
pluricanonical forms extend over any desingularization.
This opens the way to a computation of the Kodaira dimension without desingularizing,
as done by Farkas and Ludwig for $\ell=2$,
and by Chiodo, Eisenbud, Farkas and Schreyer
for~$\ell=3$.
We can generalize this works in two directions.
At first we treat roots of line bundles on the universal curve systematically:
we consider the moduli space of curves
$C$ with a line bundle $L$ such that $L^{\xx\ell}\cong\omega_C^{\xx k}$.
New loci of canonical and non-canonical singularities appear
for any $k\not\in\ell\Z$ and $\ell>2$, we provide a set of combinatorial tools allowing us
to completely describe the singular locus in terms of dual graphs.
Furthermore, we treat moduli spaces of curves with a $G$-cover
where $G$ is any finite group. In particular for $G=S_3$ we approach
the evaluation of the Kodaira dimension of the moduli space, and list
the remaining obstacles to calculate it.
