Quasi-convergence of stability conditions

Abstract

We develop a framework relating semiorthogonal decompositions of a triangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ to paths in its space of stability conditions. We prove that when $\mathcal{C}$ is the homotopy category of a smooth and proper idempotent complete pre-triangulated dg-category, every semiorthogonal decomposition whose factors admit a Bridgeland stability condition can be obtained from our framework.
