Abstract

We construct a geometric model for the root category Db(Q)/[2]\mathcal{D}^b(Q)/[2] of any Dynkin diagram QQ, which is an hQh_Q-gon VQ\mathbf{V}_Q with cores, where hQh_Q is the Coxeter number and Db(Q)\mathcal{D}^b(Q) is the bounded derived category associated to QQ. As an application, we classify all spaces ToStD\mathrm{ToSt}\mathcal{D} of total stability conditions on triangulated categories D\mathcal{D}, where D\mathcal{D} must be of the form Db(Q)\mathcal{D}^b(Q). More precisely, we prove that ToStDb(Q)/[2]\mathrm{ToSt}\mathcal{D}^b(Q)/[2] is isomorphic to a suitable moduli space of stable hQh_Q-gons of type QQ. In particular, an hQh_Q-gon V\mathbf{V} of type DnD_n is a (centrally) symmetric doubly punctured 2(n1)2(n-1)-gon. V\mathbf{V} is stable if it is convex and the punctures are inside the level-(n2)(n-2) diagonal-gon. Another interesting case is E6E_6, where the (stable) hQh_Q-gon (dodecagon) can be realized as a pair of planar tiling pattern.
