Discrete derived categories

Abstract: Finite-dimensional algebras with discrete derived categories were introduced by Vossieck and studied by Bobinksi, Geiss, Skrowonksi. They are not hereditary but "almost as good". I will say what they are and what we can prove about them. Our goal is to study the stability manifold of these categories; we can prove that it is contractible.
