http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0403166. Aspinwall discusses [itex]\Pi-stability[/itex] and the Bridgeland
conjecture on pp. 79. Unfortunately I cannot access Bridgeland's
original papers right now, so here are a couple of questions:

If I understand correctly, given any state of D-branes E (i.e. an
object E in the derived category D(X) describing these branes), there
is expected to be kind of a Bridgeland-functor B which sends this to
the state

B(E) [itex]= \osum_i A_i(E)[/itex]

representing a collection of stable D-branes [itex]A_i(E)[/itex] into which E
decays.

I understand that the existence of B is conjectural but considered
very plausibel. Assuming B does exist

- is it expected to be single valued up to marginal stability? I.e.
is B(E) unique up to decays of marginally stable states?

- is B expected to be compatible with direct sums in the sense that

B( [itex]E1 \oplus B( E2 \oplus E3) )= B( B(E1 \oplus E2) \oplus E3 )= B( E1 \oplus E2 \oplus E3 )[/itex]
?

In categorical terms what I am trying to get at is this:

The derived category D(X) knows direct sums. The cone construction
corresponds to subtraction. Given the direct sum of two D-branes, the
choice of cone, if any, between them which might make them react, is
given by [itex]\Pi-stability[/itex].

So we can subtract in D(X) by performing a direct sum followed by the
Bridgeland operator. For this to be well defined the answer to the
above two questions must be "Yes". Is it?
