Abstract

We compute the global dimension function $\operatorname{gldim}$ on the principal component $\operatorname{Stab}^\dagger (\mathbb{P}^2)$ of the space of Bridgeland stability conditions on $\mathbb{P}^2$. It admits $2$ as the minimum value and the preimage $\operatorname{gldim}^{-1} (2)$ is contained in the closure $\overline{\operatorname{Stab}^{\operatorname{Geo}} \mathbb{P}^2}$ of the subspace consisting of geometric stability conditions. We show that $\operatorname{gldim}^{-1} [2, x)$ contracts to $\operatorname{gldim}^{-1} (2)$ for any real number $x \geq 2$ and that $\operatorname{gldim}^{-1} (2)$ is contractible.
