Let K be a finite field of characteristic ≥5 and L=sl2(K) be the set of 2×2 trace zero matrices over K. Let H0=⟨(100−1)⟩K. Of course, H0 is an abelian Cartan subalgebra of L. Let G′ be the Chevalley group, that is, the group of automorphisms of L generated by all exp(adxα), α≠0 is a root.
According to Seligman(Theorem III.4.1, Modular Lie algebra 1967), for any abelian Cartan subalgebra H of L, there exists σ∈G′ such that σ(H0)=H. In realization, let Eij be the matrix whose position (i,j) is 1 and zero elsewhere. Then G′ is the image of the group generated by the I+λEij, λ∈K, under the mapping U↦σU, where σU:X↦U−1XU and we also have G′≅PSL(K).
Now, let K=Z7 and H=⟨(01−10)⟩K. This is an abelian Cartan subalgebra of L. However, I can not find an invertible matrix U over K such that U−1H0U=H. I think it is because −1 is non square in K.
Where is my mistake?
