Abstract: We present a complete generalization of Kirwan's partial desingularization theorem on quotients of smooth varieties. Precisely, we prove that if mathcalX is an irreducible Artin stack with stable good moduli space mathcalXoX, then there is a canonical sequence of birational morphisms of Artin stacks mathcalXnomathcalXn−1oldotsomathcalX0=mathcalX with the following properties: (1) the maximum dimension of a stabilizer of a point of mathcalXk+1 is strictly smaller than the maximum dimension of a stabilizer of mathcalXk and the final stack mathcalXn has constant stabilizer dimension; (2) the morphisms mathcalXk+1omathcalXk induce projective and birational morphisms of good moduli spaces Xk+1oXk. If in addition the stack mathcalX is smooth, then each of the intermediate stacks mathcalXk is smooth and the final stack mathcalXn is a gerbe over a tame stack. In this case the algebraic space Xn has tame quotient singularities and is a partial desingularization of the good moduli space X. When mathcalX is smooth our result can be combined with D. Bergh's recent destackification theorem for tame stacks to obtain a full desingularization of the algebraic space X.
