Abstract
Abramovich, Temkin and Wlodarczyk has recently given an easier and more efficient algorithm for resolution of singularities using stack-theoretic weighted blow-ups. Weighted blow-ups generalize root stacks and ordinary blow-ups but are far more flexible. I will give a description of weighted blow-ups and outline how they give easier and more efficient algorithms, also for other problems such as destackification and weak factorization.
