This paper deals with hypergroupoids obtained from n-ary relations. We give conditions for an n-ary relation such that the hypergroupoid associated with it is a hypergroup. First we analyze this construction using a ternary relation and then we generalize it for an n-ary relation.

Let (Rn(x))n∈N0 be an orthogonal sequence inducing a polynomial hypergroup on N0. The basic facts on polynomial hypergroups and their characters can be found in the monograph [1] or in the papers [6, 7]. A recent review is [8]. The Banach space of almost periodic functions on hypergroups is introduced and studied by the author in [5]. Weakly almost periodic functions are the topic of [12]. It i...

This paper investigates the question of when a finite hypergroup with three elements is strong, that is satisfies the condition that its dual signed hypergroup is actually a hypergroup. We classify hermitian hypergroups of order three by weight into two dimensional families and show that the algebraic conditions arising from duality yield four interesting curves in the plane which bound the cha...

A homomorphism of a hypergroup (H, ◦) is a function f : H → H satisfying f(x ◦ y) ⊆ f(x) ◦ f(y) for all x, y ∈ H. A homomorphism of a hypergroup (H, ◦) is called an epimorphism if f(H) = H. Denote by Hom(H, ◦) and Epi(H, ◦) the set of all homomorphisms and the set of all epimorphisms of a hypergroup (H, ◦), respectively. In this paper, the elements of Hom(Zn, ◦m) and Epi(Zn, ◦m) are characteriz...

Conformal inclusions of chiral conformal field theories, or more generally quantum are described in the von Neumann algebraic setting by nets subfactors, possibly with infinite Jones index if one takes non-rational theories into account. With this situation mind, we study a purely subfactor theoretical context certain class braided discrete subfactors an additional commutativity constraint, tha...

This paper is concerned with actions of finite hypergroups on sets. After introducing the definitions in the first section, we use the notion of ‘maximal actions’ to characterise those hypergroups which arise from association schemes, introduce the natural sub-class of *-actions of a hypergroup and introduce a geometric condition for the existence of *-actions of a Hermitian hypergroup. Followi...

Let G be a locally compact hypergroup and let K sub-hypergroup of G. (G, K) is Gelfand pair if Mc(G//K), the algebra measures with support on double coset G//K, commutative for convolution. In this paper, assuming that pair, we define study Fourier transform then establish Plancherel theorem K).

Wildberger gave a method to construct a finite hermitian discrete hypergroup from a random walk on a certain kind of finite graphs. In this article, we reveal that his method is applicable to a random walk on a certain kind of infinite graphs. Moreover, we make some observations of finite or infinite graphs on which a random walk produces a hermitian discrete hypergroup.
