Classification of doubly distributive skew hyperfields and stringent hypergroups

Abstract

A hypergroup is stringent if aba \boxplus b is a singleton whenever aba \neq -b. A hyperfield is stringent if the underlying additive hypergroup is. Every doubly distributive skew hyperfield is stringent, but not vice versa. We present a classification of stringent hypergroups, from which a classification of doubly distributive skew hyperfields follows. It follows from our classification that every such hyperfield is a quotient of a skew field.
