Summary:
We use binary trees to study the Bratteli diagram of Sylow 2-subgroups of
symmetric groups. We show that it is simple, has a recursive structure, and
self-similarities at all scales. We contrast its subgraph of one-dimensional
representations with the Macdonald tree. We exploit the recursive structure
to find the multiplicities of irreducible characters in the restriction to a
Sylow 2-subgroup of odd-dimensional representations of the symmetric group
S{2}{k}.
