An embedding theorem between special linear groups over any fields (Q1905709)

Let \(k\) and \(K\) be fields of the same characteristic, and \(n\geq 3\). The author proves that any injective homomorphism \(\sigma\) from \(\text{SL}_n(k)\) to \(\text{SL}_n(K)\) is of ``standard type'', i.e. there exist a homomorphism \(\alpha:k\to K\) and a \(Q\in\text{GL}_n(K)\) such that \(\sigma(A)=QA^\alpha Q^{-1}\) or \(\sigma(A)=Q((A^\alpha)')^{-1}Q^{-1}\) for all \(A\in\text{SL}_n(k)\).
