Bayer–Macrì–Toda stability conjecture for threefolds

Let XX be a smooth projective threefold, let HH be an ample divisor, and let \betainR\betain\mathbb{R} and α>0\alpha>0. Define

chβ(E)=eβHch(E)\operatorname{ch}^{\beta}(E)=e^{-\beta H}\operatorname{ch}(E)

and let AHα,β\mathcal{A}_{H}^{\alpha,\beta} be the twice-tilted heart with central charge

Zα,β3(E)=(ch3β(E)+α22H2ch1β(E))+i(αHch2β(E)α36H3ch0β(E)).Z^{3}_{\alpha,\beta}(E)=\left(-\operatorname{ch}_{3}^{\beta}(E)+\frac{\alpha^{2}}{2}H^{2}\operatorname{ch}_{1}^{\beta}(E)\right)+i\left(\alpha H\operatorname{ch}_{2}^{\beta}(E)-\frac{\alpha^{3}}{6}H^{3}\operatorname{ch}_{0}^{\beta}(E)\right).

Bayer–Macrì–Toda stability conjecture. The pair (AHα,β,Zα,β3)(\mathcal{A}_{H}^{\alpha,\beta},Z^{3}_{\alpha,\beta}) is a stability condition on Db(X)D^{b}(X). This conjecture is equivalent to the corresponding generalized Bogomolov–Gieseker inequality for tilt-semistable objects on smooth projective threefolds; it is known in several cases but remains open in general.
