Free bicategories #

THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.

We define the free bicategory over a quiver. In this bicategory, the 1-morphisms are freely generated by the arrows in the quiver, and the 2-morphisms are freely generated by the formal identities, the formal unitors, and the formal associators modulo the relation derived from the axioms of a bicategory.

Main definitions #

Free bicategory over a quiver. Its objects are the same as those in the underlying quiver.
