AbstractIn this paper, we prove a stronger form of the Bogomolov–Gieseker (BG) inequality for stable sheaves on two classes of Calabi–Yau threefolds, namely, weighted hypersurfaces inside the weighted projective spaces$\mathbb {P}(1, 1, 1, 1, 2)$and$\mathbb {P}(1, 1, 1, 1, 4)$. Using the stronger BG inequality as a main technical tool, we construct open subsets in the spaces of Bridgeland stability conditions on these Calabi–Yau threefolds.
