Abstract

To construct ternary "quaternions" following Hamilton we must introduce two "imaginary "units, q1q_1 and q2q_2 with propeties q1n=1q_1^n=1 and q2m=1q_2^m=1. The general is enough difficult, and we consider the m=n=3m=n=3. This case gives us the example of non-Abelian groupas was in Hamiltonian quaternion. The Hamiltonian quaternions help us to discover the SU(2)=S3SU(2)=S^3 group and also the group L(2,C)L(2,C). In ternary case we found the generalization of U(3) which we called TU(3)TU(3) group and also we found the the SL(3,C) group. On the matrix language we are going from binary Pauly matrices to three dimensional nine matrices which are called by nonions. This way was initiated by algebraic classification of CYmCY_m-spaces for all m=3,4,...where in reflexive Newton polyhedra we found the Berger graphs which gave in the corresponding Cartan matrices the longest simple roots Bii=3,4,..B_{ii}=3,4,.. comparing with the case of binary algebras in which the Cartan diagonal element is equal 2, {\it i.e. } Aii=2A_{ii}=2.
