Sine functions on hypergroups

Abstract: In a recent paper we introduced sine functions on commutative hypergroups. These functions are natural generalizations of those functions on groups which are products of additive and multiplicative homomorphisms. In this paper we describe sine functions on different types of hypergroups, including polynomial hypergroups, Sturm--Liouville hypergroups, etc. A non-commutative hypergroup is also considered.

Review text

Let \(m\) be a nontrivial multiplicative function on a hypergroup \(K\). The authors study continuous functions \(f\) on \(K\) satisfying the functional equation \(f(x*y)=f(x)m(y)+f(y)m(x)\) for \(x,y\in K\). These functions generalize the additive ones for the constant function \(m=1\) and are called \(m\)-sine functions by the authors. The authors present examples of such functions via partial derivatives at \(m\) for commutative hypergroups where the space of all nontrivial multiplicative functions can be parametrized by suitable subsets of \(\mathbb R^d\). In particular, for one-dimensional discrete polynomial hypergroups and non-compact Sturm-Liouville hypergroups, this approach via derivatives leads to a complete classification of these functions.
