This talk is based on joint work with Haiden, Katzarkov and Kontsevich. I will describe our attempts to formalize and understand the mathematical structures underlying the physical notion of stability for D-branes in string theory. Our work builds on Bridgeland's notion of stability conditions, and is inspired by ideas from symplectic geometry, non-Archimedean geometry, geometric invariant theory and gauge theory.
