Problem Statement

Let GL(n,K)GL(n, K) be a linear group over the field K with a topology induced by a non-Archimedean absolute value of the field K. Prove that if the matrix MGL(n,K)M \in GL (n, K) is contained by some compact subgroup of GL(n,K)GL(n, K), then all eigenvalues of M have absolute value 1.
