Weighted Leavitt path algebras – an overview

Weighted Leavitt path algebras were introduced in 2013 by Roozbeh Hazrat. These algebras generalise simultaneously the usual Leavitt path algebras and William Leavitt's algebras $L(m,n)$. In this paper we try to give an overview of what is known about the weighted Leavitt path algebras. We also prove some new results (in particular on the graded $\mathrm{K}$-theory of weighted Leavitt path algebras) and mention open problems.
