Paths in quivers

Given a quiver V, we define the type of paths from a : V to b : V as an inductive family. We define composition of paths and the action of prefunctors on paths.

inductive Quiver.Path {V : Type u} [Quiver V] (a : V) : V → Type (max u v)

Path a b is the type of paths from a to b through the arrows of G.

• nil {V : Type u} [Quiver V] {a : V} : Path a a
• cons {V : Type u} [Quiver V] {a b c : V} : Path a b → (b ⟶ c) → Path a c

def Quiver.Hom.toPath {V : Type u_1} [Quiver V] {a b : V} (e : a ⟶ b) : Path a b

An arrow viewed as a path of length one.
