A smooth compactification of spaces of stability conditions: the case of the An quiver

We propose a notion of multi-scale stability conditions with the goal of providing a smooth compactification of the quotient of the space of projectivized Bridgeland stability conditions by the group of autoequivalence. For the case of the 3CY category associated with the An quiver, this goal is achieved by defining a topology and complex structure that relies on a plumbing construction. We compare this compactification to the multi-scale compactification of quadratic differentials and briefly indicate why even for the Kronecker quiver, this notion needs refinement to provide a full compactification.
