QuiverPath

A directed path in a quiver: where it starts, and the arrow indices it follows. The basis of the path algebra , with one trivial path per vertex.

Domain: Path algebras

Details
  • Arrows are indexed by position in the quiver's arrow list, so PARALLEL arrows are distinct basis elements
  • Composition is QuiverCompose, which needs the quiver: a path alone does not know which quiver it belongs to
  • The trivial paths are local identities:
  • Quivers: `LinearQuiver(n)` (), `JordanQuiver` (one loop), `KroneckerQuiver`, or `Quiver(n, [[from,to],…])`
