Abstract

Let GG be a reductive group over a field kk which is algebraically closed of characteristic p0p \neq 0. We prove a structure theorem for a class of subgroup schemes of GG, for pp bounded below by the Coxeter number of GG. As applications, we derive semi-simplicity results, generalizing earlier results of Serre proven in 1998, and also obtain an analogue of Luna's \'etale slice theorem for suitable bounds on pp.
