Stability conditions on morphisms in a category
Abstract
Let be the homotopy category of a stable infinity category . Then the homotopy category of morphisms in the stable infinity category is also triangulated. Hence the space of stability conditions on is well-defined though the non-emptiness of is not obvious. Our basic motivation is a comparison of the homotopy type of and that of . Under the motivation we show that functors and induce continuous maps from to contravariantly where (resp. ) takes a morphism to the target (resp. source) of the morphism. As a consequence, if is nonempty then so is . Assuming is the derived infinity category of the projective line over a field, we further study basic properties of and . In addition, we give an example of a derived category which does not have any stability condition.

26 pages, comments are welcome. For v2, added subsection 2.2 which gives a description of a Serre functor of the category of morphisms in $\mathbf D$. For v3, the proof of Proposition 3.3 has been updated. For v5, Section 6 was added. For v6, modified the proof of Proposition 6.1. For v7, minor revision for Proposition 6.1, final version
