Folding a closed set of vertices #
Restricting to an edge-closed set containing the basepoint preserves all based loops. The restricted folding theorem only needs a potential on that set, so unrelated connected components impose no hypotheses. This extension was added during the AI-assisted Lean Pool port of Arthur Freitas Ramos' development.
The induced inverse multigraph on a finite set of vertices.
Equations
Instances For
A vertex set is closed when every edge starting in it also ends in it.
Equations
Instances For
A path in the induced graph is also a path in the original graph.
Paths starting in a closed vertex set can be lifted to its induced graph.
Restricting to a closed set containing the basepoint preserves its loop subgroup.
Folding an edge-closed set containing the basepoint preserves the original based-loop subgroup. The potential is required only on the selected vertices.
