Hypergroup structures of open quantum random walks on distance sets

Wildberger has introduced the method to construct a hermitian discrete hypergroup from a random walk on a graph. We will apply his method to an open quantum random walk (OQRW) on a distance set, and show that any discrete hypergroup which is not necessary hermitian is realized by an OQRW on a distance set. We will investigate distributions of OQRWs on distance sets in the view point of hypergroups.
