Symmetrization of monoïds as hypergroups
Abstract
We adapt the construction of the Grothendieck group associated to a commutative monoïd to handle idempotent monoïds. Our construction works for a restricted class of commutative monoïds, it agrees with the Grothendieck group construction in many cases and yields a hypergroup which solves the universal problem for morphisms to hypergroups. It gives the expected non-trivial hypergroup construction in the case of idempotent monoïds.
