Element structure of special linear group over a field

This article aims to describe the element structure of the special linear group of finite degree over an arbitrary field. It builds on the element structure of general linear group over a field, but we need to study how conjugacy classes split in $$SL(n)$$ relative to $$GL(n)$$.
