In this paper, we investigate the abstract homomorphisms of the special linear group SLn($\mathfrak{O}$) over complete discrete valuation rings with finite residue field into the general linear group GLm($\mathbb{R}$) over the field of real numbers. We show that for m < 2n, every such homomorphism factors through a finite index subgroup of SLn($\mathfrak{O}$). For $\mathfrak{O}$ with positive characteristic, this result holds for all m ∈ ${\mathbb N}$.
