A hypergroup is a locally compact Hausdorff space equipped with a convolution product which maps any two points to a probability measure with a compact support. Hypergroups generalize locally compact groups in which the above convolution reduces to a point mass measure.
Sheaves are structures that keep track of local information attached to the open sets of a topological space. They also appear in the definition of a scheme. After discussing a few familiar examples, the concepts of presheaf and sheaf will be defined, along with the appropriate notion of morphism between such objects. If time permits, stalks and sheafification will be discussed.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
