Given a 3-Calabi-Yau category D with a sufficiently nice stability condition, one can define associated Donaldson-Thomas invariants. I am interested in whether these invariants define any kind of geometric structure on the space of stability conditions on D. Fortunately, it is possible to explain this problem without assuming any knowledge of CY3 categories or stability conditions: there is a very nice class of examples relating to moduli spaces of quadratic differentials on Riemann surfaces, where everything can be made quite explicit.
