Aug 10, 2011 at 7:32 comment added Tim Dokchitser @Junkie: This is indeed the direction that I want! But can you expand your argument a bit (and possibly post it as an answer)? I think you are using that every ${\mathbb Q}_p$-conjugate of your matrix in $GL_n({\mathbb Z}_p)$ has the same ${\bar J}$. I cannot see why this must be true. But if it is, I agree, this proves the statement.

Corrected the question
Aug 10, 2011 at 4:40 comment added Junkie I think my answer, for the other question (I misread) is now correct for the direction of $F_p$ conjugacy implying $Q_p$ conjugacy. Namely, given a general Jordan block $J$ of dimension $d$ in the decomposition for $A$, this $J$ is a companion matrix (ones above the diagonal), which remains the case upon mod $p$ reduction, and so the minimal polynomial of the reduced block $\bar J$ is also of degree $d$, so that this block does not split. This means (referring to the argument there) that $\bar J$ determines $J$, so two distinct $J$ and $J'$ cannot reduce the same mod $p$.
