AbstractWe introduce the notions of categorical systoles and categorical volumes of Bridgeland stability conditions on triangulated categories. We prove that for any projective K3 surface X, there exists a constant C depending only on the rank and discriminant of NS(X), such that $$\begin{aligned} \mathrm {sys}(\sigma )^2\le C\cdot \mathrm {vol}(\sigma ) \end{aligned}$$ sys ( σ ) 2 ≤ C · vol ( σ ) holds for any stability condition on $$\mathcal {D}^b\mathrm {Coh}(X)$$ D b Coh ( X ) . This is an
