In 2002 Bridgeland introduced the notion of a stability condition in a triangulated category to provide a mathematical framework for work by Douglas in homological mirror symmetry. A fundamental Theorem says that all stability conditions on a given category form a complex manifold. However, in general it is still not known whether it is non-empty. The construction is easy for the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective surface, but for threefolds examples are scarce. I will give an introduction to the topic, and explain recent progress.
