We develop a theory of extensions of hyperfields that generalizes the notion of field extensions. Since hyperfields have a multivalued addition, we must consider two kinds of extensions that we call weak hyperfield extensions and strong…

In additive number theory, a finite set $A$ of integers is an $h$-basis for $n$ if every integer in $\{0,1,2,\ldots, n\}$ can be represented as the sum of exactly $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. This paper introduces a new…

We introduce a class of hyperfields which includes several constructions of non-quotient hyperfields. We then use it to partially answer a question posed by M. Baker and T. Zhang: Does a system of homogeneous linear equations with more…

We determine all isomorphism classes of hyperfields of a given finite order which can be obtained as quotients of finite fields of sufficiently large order. Using this result, we determine which hyperfields of order at most 4 are quotients…

Hobby has recently shown that almost all finite hyperfields of even order fail to be the quotient of a field. Using a probabilistic argument, we extend this result to all orders: a finite hyperfield is almost always non-quotient. This…

Recent breakthrough methods \cite{gggz,joux,bgjt} on computing discrete logarithms in small characteristic finite fields share an interesting feature in common with the earlier medium prime function field sieve method \cite{jl}. To solve…

By an additive structure on a hypersurface S in projective space we mean an effective action of commutative unipotent group on projective space which leaves S invariant and acts on S with an open orbit. It is known that these structures…

This paper develops a basic theory of H-groups. We introduce a special quotient of H-groups and extend some algebraic constructions of topological groups to the category of H-groups and H-maps. We use these constructions to prove some…

We classify one-element extensions of a hyperplane arrangement by the induced adjoint arrangement. Based on the classification, several kinds of combinatorial invariants including Whitney polynomials, characteristic polynomials, Whitney…

We present a new structure theorem for finite fields of odd order that relates multiplicative and additive structure in an interesting way. This theorem has several applications, including an improved understanding of Dickson and Chebyshev…

The intended model of the homotopy type theories used in Univalent Foundations is the infinity-category of homotopy types, also known as infinity-groupoids. The problem of higher structures is that of constructing the homotopy types needed…

The study of many problems in additive combinatorics, such as Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions, is made easier by first studying models for the problem in F_p^n for some fixed small prime p. We give a number of examples of…

Hyperstructures are a natural extension of regular algebraic structures in which one of the operations, known as the hyperoperation, is multivalued; a hyperfield is such an extension on a field. M. Krasner (1962) proved that the quotient…

The quotient hyperfield is a landmark on the borderline of fields and hyperfields. In this paper, which is the second part of our previously published paper, all the hyperfields of order 7 are constructed, enumerated and presented, in the…

Hyperfields and systems are two algebraic frameworks which have been developed to provide a unified approach to classical and tropical structures. All hyperfields, and more generally hyperrings, can be represented by systems. Conversely, we…

A finite semifield is a division algebra over a finite field where multiplication is not necessarily associative. We consider here the complexity of the multiplication in small semifields and finite field extensions. For this operation, the…

Over the complex numbers, the complement of a collection of hyperplanes is a widely-studied object; the cohomology ring, in particular, is known to have a structure depending only on the combinatorial properties of the intersection of…

In this paper, we study finite dimensional non-cosemisimple Hopf algebras through its underlying coalgebra. We decompose such a Hopf algebra as a direct sum of `blocks'. Blocks are closely related to each other by `rules' and form the…

We compute the cohomology with group ring coefficients of the complement of a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in a finite dimensional complex vector space. It is nonzero in exactly one degree, namely the degree equal to the rank of…

The left regular band structure on a hyperplane arrangement and its representation theory provide an important connection between semigroup theory and algebraic combinatorics. A finite semigroup embeds in a real hyperplane face monoid if…
