Abstract

We develop a theory of harmonic analysis and duality for finite commutative hypergroups by considering somewhat more general objects called signed hypergroups. A notion of entropy is defined, and a Second Law of Thermodynamics is established. Applications to group theory and to the fusion rule algebras of conformal field theory are given.
