The Space of Stability Conditions on the Projective Plane

Abstract: The space of Bridgeland stability conditions on the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on P2 has a principle connected component Stab^\dag(P2). We show that Stab^\dag(P2) is the union of geometric and algebraic stability conditions. As a consequence, we give a cell decomposition for Stab^\dag (P2) and show that Stab^\dag(P2) is contractible.
