Quivers #

This module defines quivers. A quiver on a type V of vertices assigns to every pair a b : V of vertices a type a ⟶ b of arrows from a to b. This is a very permissive notion of directed graph.

Implementation notes #

Currently Quiver is defined with Hom : V → V → Sort v. This is different from the category theory setup, where we insist that morphisms live in some Type. There's some balance here: it's nice to allow Prop to ensure there are no multiple arrows, but it is also results in error-prone universe signatures when constraints require a Type.

class Quiver (V : Type u) :
Type (max u v)

A quiver G on a type V of vertices assigns to every pair a b : V of vertices a type a ⟶ b of arrows from a to b.

For graphs with no repeated edges, one can use Quiver.{0} V, which ensures a ⟶ b : Prop. For multigraphs, one can use Quiver.{v+1} V, which ensures a ⟶ b : Type v.

Because Category will later extend this class, we call the field Hom. Except when constructing instances, you should rarely see this, and use the notation instead.

  • Hom : VVSort v

    The type of edges/arrows/morphisms between a given source and target.

Instances

Notation for the type of edges/arrows/morphisms between a given source and target in a quiver or category.
