Oct 10, 2013 at 12:12 comment added prochet yes but it doesn't imply that the matrices are not conjugated. $g$ and $g_{1}$ are different.
Oct 10, 2013 at 9:55 comment added S. Carnahan I don't think your edit has fixed much. For example, $G$ could be $SL_2 \times SL_2$, embedded in $GL_4$, and you could conjugate by something in $GL_4$ that switches the two factors.
Oct 10, 2013 at 8:08 comment added Marc Palm Ah okay, I wasn't seeing the algebraically closed field part. I was thinking about local fields. Still S.Carnahan's example applies, doesn't it?

Oct 9, 2013 at 20:35 comment added prochet it doesn't fail for $SL_{2}$ because if you have $g\in GL_{2}(O)$ that conjugates, then $\frac{1}{\lambda}g\in SL_{2}(O)$ where $\lambda=\sqrt\det(g)$ that exists because $k$ is algebraically closed.
Oct 8, 2013 at 21:47 comment added Marc Palm I would prefer the question to be a comparison of the orbits... my naive idea is that more useful things can be said there. definitely the answer to the question in its current form is no. anyway +1.

Fixed some typos and a little bit of grammar.

Oct 8, 2013 at 9:24 comment added Marc Palm Even $SL(2)$ inside $GL(2)$ seem to fail.
Oct 8, 2013 at 9:08 comment added S. Carnahan Do any of your conditions prevent $G$ from being a torus?
