Abstract
In this paper we give an exposition of supersingular isogeny graphs, quaternion ideal graphs and Bruhat–Tits trees, and of their connections. Bruhat–Tits trees are combinatorial objects whose vertices and edges have a very simple representation as two-by-two matrices, which, as we show, is useful for understanding certain aspects of the corresponding elliptic curves and isogenies. Moreover, Bruhat–Tits trees can be given an orientation and a notion of depth that we translate into the setting of supersingular isogeny graphs. We give some suggestions towards using Bruhat–Tits trees as a tool for cryptanalysis of certain cryptosystems based on supersingular isogeny graphs.
