Reading group on stability conditions, spring 2016.

Goal: Our goal is to read through the following paper (we'll try to get to Section 7 at least):

References on derived categories and stability conditions.

Time/place: we will meet in 24 Illini Hall at 1pm on Wednesdays.

Schedule:

  • Week 1 (Wed, 27 Jan): (Josh) slope stability and Bridgeland stability conditions on curves (Sections 1-4 of Arend's notes)

  • Week 2 (Wed, 3 Feb): (Jason) Bridgeland stability conditions on surfaces. (I'll focus on the construction of Bridgeland stability conditions on a surface, and why it works, i.e. the computations in Section 6 of Bridgeland's K3 paper and Section 2 of Arcara-Bertram.)
