rt.representation theory - Embeddings between p-adic linear groups?

Let p be a prime and let mathbbZp denote the p-adic integers.



If n<m, then what are the embeddings SLn(mathbbZp)rightarrowSLm(mathbbZp)? I am particularly interested in those which carry SLn(mathbbZ) into SLm(mathbbZ).



There are obvious "block" embeddings, e.g., carrying a matrix to the upper-left hand corner of a larger matrix. There are also certain conjugates of these. In general, the embeddings should come from representations of SLn(mathbbZp), but I do not know where they are catalogued or what exactly to do with the catalog.
