Kaluzhnin's representations of Sylow \(p\)-subgroups of automorphism groups of \(p\)-adic rooted trees

Abstract

The paper concerns the  Sylow \(p\)-subgroups of automorphism groups of level homogeneous rooted trees. We recall and summarize the results obtained by L.Kaluzhnin on the structure of Sylow \(p\)-subgroups of isometry groups of ultrametric Cantor \(p\)-spaces in terms of automorphism groups of rooted trees. Most of the paper should be viewed as a systematic topical survey, however we include some new ideas in last sections.
