We introduce the notion of ST‐pairs of triangulated subcategories, a prototypical example of which is the pair of the bound homotopy category and the bound derived category of a finite‐dimensional algebra. For an ST‐pair (C,D), we construct an injective order‐preserving map from silting objects in sans-serifC to bounded t‐structures on sans-serifD and show that the map is bijective if and only if sans-serifC is silting‐discrete if and only if sans-serifD is t‐discrete. Based on the work of Qiu and Woolf, the above result is applied to show that if sans-serifC is silting‐discrete then the stability space of sans-serifD is contractible. This is used to obtain the contractibility of the stability spaces of some Calabi–Yau triangulated categories associated to Dynkin quivers.
