Abstract
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.
