Mar 12, 2017 at 7:46 comment added Uri Bader @Xiao-GangWen I don't have a specific reference, but I guess any reasonable book having the phrase "Algebraic K-Theory" in the title will have it. What you need to observe is that the determinant map $M_n(R\times S)\to R\times S$ satisfies $\det(x+y)=\det(x)+\det(y)$ for $x\in M_n(R)$, $y\in M_n(S)$. This becomes clear when you observe that $\det$ commutes with ring homomorphism and consider both projections.
Mar 11, 2017 at 22:37 comment added Xiao-Gang Wen @Uri Bader "$SL_n$ over a product of rings (commutative with 1) is isomorphic to the product of $SL_n$ over the rings." Do you have any references for the above statement?
Mar 11, 2017 at 21:22 comment added A Stasinski Regarding $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^r)$, the classification is due to Kutzko and Shalika for $p\neq 2$. The case $p=2$ is much more difficult and due to Nobs and Wolfart. The reps of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q[t]/t^r)$, where $q$ is even is still not completely known.
