Nov 13, 2011 at 11:58 comment added Homology @KConrad However the UFD case follows from the localization (I edited my answer below).
Nov 12, 2011 at 17:31 comment added Henri @KConrad No, the very same matrix also conjugates $M_2(\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1+\sqrt{-15}}{2}])$. Homology's answer shows that $A$ conjugates $\mathrm{GL}_n(R)$ iff $I^n =(det(A))$ where $I$ is the (fractional) ideal generated by the coefficients of $A$, so that one can always take a bigger $R' \subset \mathrm{Frac}(R)$.
Nov 12, 2011 at 17:21 comment added KConrad In Henri's example, ${\mathbf Z}[\sqrt{-15}]$ is not the full ring of integers of ${\mathbf Q}(\sqrt{-15})$. Perhaps that "explains" the example. Emerton's argument goes through for PIDs. Does it go through more generally for any Dedekind domain, perhaps by a localization argument to reduce to the case of a PID?
Nov 12, 2011 at 17:02 comment added Henri It is not true in general, as $\begin{pmatrix} 2 \sqrt{-15} & 5 \\ 5 & - \sqrt{-15} \end{pmatrix} \in \mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-15}))$ conjugates $M_2(\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-15}])$ but is not a scalar multiple of an element of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-15}])$ (its determinant, $5$, is not a square times a unit).
