    Let \(\mathcal T\) be a \(\mathbb C\)-linear triangulated category and let \(\text{Stab}(\mathcal T)\) be the \textit{manifold of stability conditions} of \(\mathcal T\) defined by \textit{T. Bridgeland} [Ann. Math.(2) 166. No. 2, 317--345 (2007; Zbl 1137.18008)]. In the paper under review, the author associates to every exceptional collection \({\mathcal E} = (E_0,\dots ,E_n)\) generating \(\mathcal T\) (if such a collection exists) a connected and simply connected open subset \({\Theta}_{\mathcal E}\) of \(\text{Stab}(\mathcal T)\). When \(\mathcal T\) is the bounded derived category of the category of finite dimensional representations of the quiver \(P_n\) consisting of two vertices and \(n\) arrows from the first vertex to the second one, the author shows that the open sets \({\Theta}_{\mathcal E}\) corresponding to the various exceptional collections \(\mathcal E\) generating \(\mathcal T\) cover \(\text{Stab}(\mathcal T)\) and deduces that, in this case, \(\text{Stab}(\mathcal T)\) is a connected and simply connected 2-dimensional complex manifold. In particular, for \(n = 2\), one gets that \(\text{Stab}\, {\text{D}}^b(\text{Coh}\, {\mathbb P}^1)\) is a connected and simply connected 2-dimensional complex manifold. Actually, \textit{S. Okada} [J. Algebr. Geom. 15, No. 3, 487--505 (2006; Zbl 1117.14021)] proved that \(\text{Stab}\, {\text{D}}^b(\text{Coh}\, {\mathbb P}^1) \simeq {\mathbb C}^2\).
