k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first
developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of
Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop a theory of the fundamental groupoid of a
k-graph, and relate it to the fundamental groupoid of an associated graph
called the 1-skeleton. We also explore the failure, in general, of k-graphs to
faithfully embed into their fundamental groupoids.Comment: 12 page
