Generalized Commutative Association Schemes, Hypergroups, and Positive Product Formulas

چکیده
It is well known that finite commutative association schemes in the sense of the monograph of Bannai and Ito lead to finite commutative hypergroups with positive dual convolutions and even dual hypergroup structures. In this paper we present several discrete generalizations of association schemes which also lead to associated hypergroups. We show that discrete commutative hypergroups associated with such generalized association schemes admit dual positive convolutions at least on the support of the Plancherel measure. We hope that examples for this theory will lead to the existence of new dual positive product formulas in near future.

Discrete commutative hypergroups
The concept of a locally compact hypergroup was introduced by Dunkl [6], Jewett [14] and Spector [26]. Hypergroups generalize convolution algebras of measures associated to groups as well as linearization formulae of classical families of special functions, e.g. orthogonal polynomials. Many results of harmonic analysis on locally compact abelian groups can be carried over to the case of commuta...
متن کامل?-Independent and Dissociate Sets on Compact Commutative Strong Hypergroups
In this paper we define ?-independent (a weak-version of independence), Kronecker and dissociate sets on hypergroups and study their properties and relationships among them and some other thin sets such as independent and Sidon sets. These sets have the lacunarity or thinness property and are very useful indeed. For example Varopoulos used the Kronecker sets to prove the Malliavin theorem. In t...
متن کاملDeformations of Convolution Semigroups on Commutative Hypergroups
It was recently shown by the authors that deformations of hypergroup convolutions w.r.t. positive semicharacters can be used to explain probabilistic connections between the Gelfand pairs (SL(d, C), SU(d)) and Hermitian matrices. We here study connections between general convolution semigroups on commutative hypergroups and their deformations. We are able to develop a satisfying theory, if the ...
متن کاملAnalysis on Symmetric Cones (oxford Mathematical Monographs)
measure always exists on a commutative hypergroup K, and there always exists a 'Plancherel measure' on the dual space K of equivalence classes of irreducible representations of K, with respect to which Plancherel's formula holds for Fourier transforms. In contrast with the case of a locally compact abelian group, however, the Plancherel measure is not necessarily a Haar measure on K, and K need...
متن کاملProduct Formulas and Associated Hypergroups for Orthogonal Polynomials on the Simplex and on a Parabolic Biangle
Explicit product formulas are obtained for families of multivariate polynomials which are orthogonal on simplices and on a parabolic biangle in R. These product formulas are shown to give rise to measure algebras which are hypergroups. The article also includes an elementary proof that the Michael topology for the space of compact subsets of a topological space (which is used in the definition ...
