On the asymptotic behavior of finite hyperfields
Abstract
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 confirms a conjecture of Baker--Jin. We show that in almost every finite hyperfield the sum of any four or more nonzero elements contains 0. We also give a precise asymptotic for the number of finite hyperfields on a given finite abelian group.
