Contraction of a directed tree realization #

This module constructs cellwise contraction data from the unique paths in an arborescence.

Contraction data for a directed tree realization #

This file isolates the geometric part of the eventual graph comparison theorem. For an arborescence, every vertex has a unique directed path from the root. The cellwise formula below contracts each edge along that root path. The formula is the usual square filling of a concatenated path:

(t, s) ↦ p ((1 - s) * (1 + t) / 2).

The horizontal boundary is the edge, while the two vertical boundaries are the contractions of its endpoints.

noncomputable def FiniteGraphFreeGroup.graphRealizationDirectedPath {V : Type u} [Quiver V] {a b : V} (p : Quiver.Path a b) :

The path in the realization associated to a directed quiver path.

    The unique root path in the realization of an arborescence.

    Equations

      Instances For

        The cellwise squares agree on the endpoint generators, so the quotient universal property turns them into a global homotopy.
