Abstract: By a (latin) unitrade, we call a set of vertices of the Hamming graph that is intersects with every maximal clique in 0 or 2 vertices. A bitrade is a bipartite unitrade, that is, a unitrade splittable into two independent sets. We study the cardinality spectrum of the bitrades in the Hamming graph H(n,k) with k=3 (ternary hypercube) and the growth of the number of such bitrades as n grows. In particular, we determine all possible (up to 2.5cdot2n) and large (from 14cdot3n−3) cardinatities of bitrades and prove that the cardinality of a bitrade is compartible to 0 or 2n modulo 3 (this result has a treatment in terms of a ternary code of Reed--Muller type). A part of the results is valid for any k. We prove that the number of nonequivalent bitrades is not less than 2(2/3−o(1))n and is not greater than 2alphan, alpha<2, as noinfty.
