Abstract

The second author and Katzarkov introduced categorical invariants based on counting of full triangulated subcategories in a given triangulated category T\mathcal T, and they demonstrated different choices of additional properties of the subcategories being counted, in particular - an approach to make non-commutative counting in T\mathcal T dependable on a stability condition σStab(T)\sigma \in {\rm Stab}(\mathcal T). In this paper, we focus on this approach. After recalling the definitions of a stable non-commutative curve in T\mathcal T and related notions, we prove a few general facts and study an example: T=Db(Q)\mathcal T = D^b(Q), where QQ is the acyclic triangular quiver. In previous papers, it was shown that there are two non-commutative curves of non-commutative genus 11 and infinitely many non-commutative curves of non-commutative genus 00 in Db(Q)D^b(Q). Our studies here imply that for an open and dense subset in Stab(Db(Q)){\rm Stab}(D^b(Q)) the stable non-commutative curves in Db(Q)D^b(Q) are finitely many. This paper also introduces counting of semistable derived points and shows that the corresponding invariants are finite on an open dense subset of Stab(Db(Q)){\rm Stab}\big(D^b(Q)\big).
