The contractibility conjecture for stability spaces of acyclic quivers
The contractibility conjecture for stability spaces of acyclic quivers
Let be a finite connected acyclic quiver. Write for the space of stability conditions on , and let denote the set of totally semistable stability conditions on . Contractibility conjecture. The space contracts to , the space is contractible, and consequently is contractible.
This is a categorical analogue of the classical -conjecture for hyperplane arrangements. Contractibility is known for stability spaces associated with Dynkin quivers and related Calabi--Yau completions, while the stated result for arbitrary finite connected acyclic quivers is presented as a direction for further research.
