Stability conditions on Calabi-Yau threefolds via Brill-Noether theory of curves

Abstract

Fix a polarised Calabi-Yau threefold $(X,H)$. We reduce a version of the Bayer-Macr\`i-Toda conjecture for $(X,H)$, which ensures the existence of Bridgeland stability conditions on $X$, to verifying a Brill-Noether-type inequality for curves on $X$. We then prove this inequality for a broad class of Calabi-Yau threefolds, including complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds in weighted projective spaces.
